MacLaren Youth, Gang Culture & Measure 11

What does criminalization look like in Oregon when our youth are targeted and how does that play out when those youth face mandatory minimum sentencing? How does it feel returning to your home community after serving a long sentence with a felony now on your record? Host Carlos Chavez interviews Guy Mattaliano and Abel Mandujano on their experiences navigating youth gang culture in Oregon and the challenges of the school to prison pipeline and Measure 11.
