作为未成年人，Ismael Nazario被送到纽约雷克岛监狱服刑，他在那里被关了300天单独监禁——而在这之前他并没有真正被定罪。如今，作为监狱改革的倡导者，他努力改变美国的监狱文化，那种监狱文化让很多年轻人屈服于超出想象的暴力。Nazario讲述着他那让人不寒而栗的经历，并提出了帮助而不是伤害监狱里少年犯们的建议。

作为一个少年犯我学到了什么

Locking teens in violent adult jails breeds frustration, anger, and hopelessness instead of rehabilitation. One young person spent nearly 400 days on Rikers Island, including 300 in solitary confinement before conviction, and saw firsthand how inmates leave with nothing but trauma. Meaningful change starts with correctional officers and real programming, not punishment. Giving young people purpose and tools can break the cycle of recidivism and wasted talent.
