School to prison pipeline video

Hey everyone, today in class we watched two similar movie trailers about public schools students from middle to high school become targets from the law enforcement in their schools to go to jail over little things that they may have done. I find it interesting that both trailers targeted a certain group of people, which were in urban areas with low income or middle class people. Why is it that other schools in different neighborhoods such as white or asian aren't having students go to jail? I know that not only black, hispanic, or any other known minority groups are the only neighborhoods with students in schools that are doing bad things.

The first trailer, Book Em': undereducated and overincarcerated, was about a high school being next to a prison. This is so crazy to me because, why would anyone want to build a school next to a prison and vice versa. This type of environment is not healthy for any student, and the staff knew that. The bigger picture here is that students are being sent there for doing things in schools such as tagging, fighting, and a whole bunch of over similar factors.
