Students from the International Community High School collaborated with CUP to peel back the pages of the U.S. Constitution. Under the Eighth Amendment, should minors be charged as adults? Should inmates be held in solitary confinement? Who decides? To investigate, students got out of the classroom and into the politics of our justice system to speak with people invested in NYC’s justice system, from a New York Police Department Detective to a New York State Senator. Students debuted their project at the International Community High School, where they viewed their Public Service Announcements and demonstrated their critical analysis skills.
