Annually, AADM host the End School to Prison Pipeline Conference geared to teach educators and administrators how to help prevent a child from entering the school to prison pipeline system, how to use the restorative justice approach oppose to punitive punishment, and improve student learning. Includes a youth empowerment session, various workshops, and guest speakers.
On an average, states spend $88,000 to incarcerate youth but only $10,000 to educate them. In the past 20 years, the amount spent on incarceration, parole and probation increased 6 times more than money for colleges and universities. In times of budget cuts and struggling schools, the United States spends 70 billion dollars a year on incarceration (Dignity School.org).
