"Juvenile in Justice" photo project captures kids behind bars
Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center, Mendota, WI
I'm from Kenosha and I been here for two months, nobody visits me. I was in Ethan Allen for a year, and a month in Martin. I wanna be a R&B singer, I write my own songs [proceeds to sing, thumping against his chest for a beat]. I'll send you my lyrics.
I want to be successful. I wanna have a restaurant called "Brother's House of Fine Ribs." I'm gonna own a whole chain of them. This little sculpture dangling from this string here? That's a dream-catcher.
