About this title

Synopsis

A powerful oral history exposing the harsh realities of policing in public schools.Always on Lockdown reveals the voices of students, teachers, and administrators navigating the complexities of discipline and security in Chicago's urban education system.

Through candid interviews, this book uncovers the devastating impact of zero-tolerance policies, racial profiling, and community disinvestment on students' lives. It challenges us to confront the systemic issues that perpetuate the school-to-prison pipeline and calls for a more equitable and compassionate approach to education.

For educators, policymakers, and anyone concerned about social justice, Always on Lockdown offers a crucial framework for understanding and dismantling the forces that keep our most vulnerable students from reaching their full potential. Discover the urgent need for change and the power of community-driven solutions to create safer, more supportive learning environments.
