 We kick off the series Inside and Out with the first profile of a kid who’s gotten himself into trouble and may end up in juvenile detention. Plus, we’ll explore the issues that first attracted us to an in-depth exploration of the juvenile justice system. And, we learn how Chicago is becoming a refuge for people escaping the disaster in Haiti.
