Education on Lockdown: The Schoolhouse to Jailhouse Track, is Advancement Project's second examination of the emergence of zero tolerance school discipline policies and how these policies have pushed students away from an academic track to a future in the juvenile justice system. School districts have teamed up with law enforcement to create this "schoolhouse to jailhouse track" by imposing a "double dose" of punishment -- supensions or expulsions and a trip to the juvenile court -- for one act of childish misconduct.

This report is intended to ignite a dialogue about the negative side effects of the use of law and order approaches to address typical student misbehavior, and to encourage efforts toward reform. Education on Lockdown profiles three school districts -- Denver, Chicago and Palm Beach County -- where this track is in full operation and where communities are beginning to realize and address its adverse impact.
