Title: Texas' School-to-Prison Pipeline: Dropout to Incarceration. The Impact of School Discipline and Zero Tolerance
Summary: Numerous studies by national experts in the fields of education, criminal justice, and mental health have established a link between school dropout rates and incarceration. This link holds true in Texas. One in three juveniles sent to a locked down facility operated by the Texas Youth Commission has already dropped out of school - and more than 80 percent of Texas adult prison inmates are school dropouts. This study documents the impact of a "school-to-prison" pipeline in Texas and identifies policy areas in need of systemic reform.
