    The document argues that juveniles should not be shackled in court like adults typically are not, as shackling juveniles can cause psychological harm and damage since it humiliates and shames them, making them feel less than human, and experts warn it can do serious and possibly permanent harm to children. While most states allow shackling juveniles routinely, adults like a judge who accepted bribes appeared in court without shackles, showing the unfair treatment of juveniles in the legal system.

    Shackling Kids in Court

    Amanda S., Orion S., Meilani W., Kelly W.

    Summary
    In the article, Why do we still put kids in
    shackles when they go to trial, written by
    Robert May, May argues that juveniles should
    not be in shackles during trial. May stresses that
    adults and juveniles are treated differently
    during court and these treatment violates the
    right of the juvenile. Majority of crimes convicted
    by juveniles are mostly non-violent crimes from
    little to swearing in public, creating fake social
    media pages, and theft. Shackling in adult
    defendants are limited even towards the most
    dangerous criminals in court. The Child Welfare
    League of America states that the experience of
    being shackled cause psychological damage
    because the feeling of humiliation and shame
    takes a toll onto juveniles. The injustices of
    keeping children in shackles are ignored. While
    unshackled of adult criminals are left alone.

    Claim 1
    Juveniles and adults are not treated the same in court.
    Evidence 1:
    But when Ciavarella went on trial for
    accepting millions of dollars in
    kickbacks from the for-profit
    prisons where he spent far too
    many children, he appeared in
    court in a suit and tie. (pgh. 2)
    Anecdotal Evidence
    Provides an example of the injustice
    by showing an adult in court.
    Ethos is used in this quote because it
    is from a persons point of view on
    criminal injustice. Also, since its
    an anecdotal evidence, it makes

    Evidence 2:
    Most states allow children to be
    shackled in juvenile court as a
    matter of routine. (pgh. 3)
    Statistic
    Elaborates on reason for the
    injustice.
    Since it is a statistic evidence, it is
    logos because most people put
    children in shackles in court. It
    also explains that children are
    treated way different than
    adults in court.

    Claim 2
    Having juveniles appear in court shackled should be stopped.
    Evidence 1:

    Evidence 2:

    The shackles sent a message of


    fear, that the system did not
    recognize them as children or
    human beings for that matter.
    (pgh. 5)

    Mental health experts and


    childrens advocates have
    warned that shackling does
    serious, and perhaps permanent
    harm to children. (pgh. 6)

    This example is pathos because it


    explains that putting juveniles
    in shackles is not a good idea.
    It also tells the audience how

    This is also pathos because it


    directly appeals to the
    audiences emotions of the

    Discussion
    Details: What groups of juveniles and adults are put into shackles
    during court?

    Categories: What kinds of negative psychological effects stem from


    being shackled in court for a petty or small crime?

    Elaboration: What if juveniles were not shackled in court? How


    would it affect their choices in the future?(more influenced towards path
    of crime or less?)

    Evidence: How could a person prove that shackling juveniles has


    long lasting mental effects on an individual?
