Episode Details

Young activists are taking bold action, rallying outside Alameda County’s administration to demand an end to pepper spray in juvenile halls—calling it inhumane and counter to true rehabilitation. They’re pushing for a statewide shift toward trauma-informed de-escalation, as Alameda remains one of just three Bay Area counties still allowing chemical sprays. With firsthand accounts of suffocating pain and burning faces, they’re urging officials to prioritize healing over punishment—and hoping this protest will finally spark the policy change their system desperately needs.
