These powerful photographs in No Place for Children illuminate what may well be the darkest and least explainable corner of our society--the tragedy of our juvenile justice system. Children who desperately need an education are assigned a prison cell instead, at far greater cost to the federal, state and local treasures. The neglect they endure behind bars only compounds the likelihood they will commit crimes after their release. Steve Liss has performed an extraordinary service for the nation, if we have enough sense to learn from it. --Senator Edward M. Kennedy
