Cedrico Green can’t exactly remember how many times he went back and forth to juvenile.

He was put on probation by a youth court judge for getting into a fight when he was in eighth grade. Thereafter, any of Green’s school-based infractions...counted as violations of his probation and led to his immediate suspension and incarceration in the local juvenile detention center.

But Green wasn’t alone.

Indeed, children as young as elementary school students have been taken directly from school and forced to serve school suspensions inside a jail cell.
