Prison is no home for a child and yet, on any given night in America, 6,200 children are held in adult jails and prisons. Every year, 100,000 youth are admitted into local adult facilities and prisons. This was the fate of 14-year-old Brian Harrington Jr., who was a freshman in High School when he was charged with a 25 year prison sentence. Today, Brian, his family, and his partner Jess are fighting to get his life back.
