The US "school to prison pipeline" has a double meaning:
Schools in the US do not adequately prepare children for society, and as a result many fall into poverty and turn to crime to survive.
Children in US schools are literally treated in a way that takes many elements from how inmates in US prisons are treated.
The presence of "resource officers" in schools also increases the likelihood that a student ends up on the School to Prison Pipeline as administrations defer to the officer as a mechanism for punishment, which often results in criminal charges against the student. Their existence in schools can not even be justified via critical analysis because any inquiry into their "effectiveness" proves that no resource officer in any school building across the country has ever prevented or reduced the likelihood of a mass causality event in the building.
Also it's surprisingly common for minors, as in children, to be tried as adults and be sent to adult prisons in the US.
Why the fuck do you even have a minor judicial system then?
Oh damn, I thought it was just Australia who did that! Finally, the US is adopting something from our prison system, rather than the other way around.
