Samenvatting
“In Baby Jails, Philip Schrag delivers a most comprehensive legislative, statutory and litigation history of the complex issues involving the incarceration of refugee children under the guise of controlling the flow of immigrants into the U.S. Schrag chronicles the plight of the children and how their lawyers have engaged in a continuing battle that has been ongoing since 1985. This is a must-read book for lawmakers, judges and anyone who wants to become better informed on this important issue. Schrag offers some very concrete and practical solutions that address the crisis at its roots.”—Richard A. Boswell, Professor of Law, University of California, Hastings College of Law
“Both inspirational and heart-breaking, Baby Jails details more than three decades of advocacy by lawyers and nongovernmental organizations intent on protecting migrant children from the harsh, dehumanizing conditions that these children face in immigration detention. Schrag’s ability to combine a clear explanation of complex legal issues with extensive behind-the-scenes reporting is unparalleled and will reward every reader.”—Michele Pistone, Professor of Law and Director, Clinic for Asylum, Refugee, and Emigrant Services, Villanova University
“A novel and thorough historical account of an issue of enormous importance. The book offers a window into the reach and limits of almost every possible advocacy strategy: grassroots organizing, lobbying, state and federal litigation, technological innovation, and working with the media.”—Geoffrey Heeren, Associate Professor and Director, Immigration Clinic, Valparaiso University School of Law
“A powerful work that uses a rich combination of litigation documents, personal interviews, noncitizens’ stories, and case law to trace the development of child and family detention in the United States.”—Pooja R. Dadhania, Assistant Professor, California Western School of Law
“Immigrant children are still children—human children—our children. This is a timely, thoroughly researched study of the United States’ ongoing struggle to ensure that migrant children in the custody of our federal government are protected and cared for in settings that are in the best interest of the child. It should be required reading and inspire calls to action right now.”—Marian Wright Edelman, Founder and President Emerita, Children’s Defense Fund
