Connecting childhood and prison, Crossroad Bible Institute

Dr. David Schuringa of Crossroad Bible Institute (CBI) explores the connection between a childhood of poverty and violence to lives of crime.

“Upbringing has so much to do with direction,” Schuringa states.

This 2012 study by The Sentencing Project describes the childhood environments of inmates who received Juvenile Life Without Parole (JLWOP) sentences.
