Lawsuit Alleges New York Uses Solitary Confinement on Minors

A federal lawsuit filed in Manhattan by the Legal Aid Society and Jenner & Block on behalf of four Black male detainees alleges New York state uses solitary confinement on minors in five facilities, sometimes for weeks or months, to punish alleged rule infractions or due to staffing shortages. The suit describes 16- to 20-year-olds kept in cells for up to 22–24 hours a day, denied education and bathroom access, and claims this violates state regulations and harms mental health; it seeks class-action relief and highlights gaps between policy and practice.

"The Sea Beyond": A Riveting Italian Take on Juvenile Detention

"The Sea Beyond," an Italian television series set in a Naples detention center, combines elements of teenage melodrama, soap opera, and prison movie clichés. The show, known for its attractive cast and picturesque setting, explores various dramatic genres and follows the story of Filippo, a rich boy who becomes entangled with fellow inmates Carmine and Ciro. While the series lacks coherence and relies on coincidences, it manages to entertain with its mix of family, romantic, social, criminal, medical, classroom, and striving-artist storylines. Despite the serious backdrop of a youth prison, the show maintains an innocent tone and lacks real tension.
