"Voices from Juvenile Detention: Kids Behind Bars"





21 of 40

Gabriel, 15, is checked by a guard while he sleeps. The boy took 10 Rohypnol pills (a potent tranquilizer) and boarded the bus to school. Stoked by the drugs, an argument with another kid turned ugly. When he arrived in Juvenile--his fifth time there--officers found more pills in his pocket. He is charged with "possession of a controlled substance in a correctional facility"--a felony.
