Write a short essay using your outline for the Toulmin essay re: juvenile justice, more specifically sentencing juvenile offenders as adults. Add racial or ethnic identity to the equation and what do we have? Look at the two girls profiled: one is had a shorter sentence and was preparing for release, while the other child, also a mother, was trying to stay focused and not allow the long sentence depress her.

I will show you a excerpt of a film called: Race to Execution, which looks at the role of race in the sentencing process.
