Children In Jail – Trailer For Upcoming Documentary
Here’s the trailer from the upcoming documentary on T. Don Hutto, Children In Jail.
The United States government holds some 500 immigrant children and their families in a converted prison in central Texas. These children are from all over the world, are not accused of any crime, and in many cases came to our country fleeing violence and persecution in their home countries and seeking asylum in the United States.
“Children in Jailâ€, a documentary short film, tells the stories of some of these children and explores how the United States government came to imprison children as a strategy for discouraging undocumented immigration.
