Panel Discussion on Juvenile Justice in New Orleans

Here's the video from the Salon that The Lens hosted on juvenile justice in New Orleans on March 22, 2012.  I really wish I was able to attend.  Its a great group of speakers and it addresses an incredibly important topic.  It runs for about 1:17:00.

Despite concerns from some neighbors, Mayor Mitch Landrieu said this week that the city will rebuild its juvenile jail where it now stands – right across from a city playground and the site of a planned high school in the Bayou St. John area.
