Los Angeles County has the largest juvenile justice system in the country, and for too long, Black and brown youth in Los Angeles have been shuttled into a system that looks to cages over care. Represent Justice Ambassador, Kent Mendoza, was one of those young people, and now works to make sure our kids won’t face a similar fate. “A Million Dollar Cage,” produced by Kent, follows his journey as he fights to transform L.A. County’s youth justice system and create alternatives to incarceration.
