Juvenile Justice

- Daniel talks with journalist Edward Humes about the state of the juvenile justice system in the United States. Humes spent a year in the Los Angeles juvenile court system which is the biggest in the country. He found that the courts were poorly funded, poorly staffed and unable to truly help families and problem kids. Humes has written a book about his experiences called "No Matter How Loud I Shout: A Year in the Life of Juvenile Court." (Simon & Schuster)
