dc.description.abstractMore than 90% of youth in the foster care system who experience more than five different placements become system involved. System involved includes incarceration, courts, supervision, social workers, etc., seemingly a form of social control. In addition, foster youth are constantly pushed into the criminal [in]justice system by our state due to a lack of mentorship and resources. This research explores the lives of ten adults who were former foster youth who spent some time inside a juvenile detention facility. For my research, I utilized qualitative methodology, which relied on semi-structured interviews that provided insight into the lived experiences of my participants. All contributors shared their experience while being simultaneously entangled in both the foster care system and the criminal [in]justice system. This research looks at the importance of bringing awareness to the foster care-to-prison pipeline and how the state needs to implement programs and resources to help reduce recidivism rates within the foster care system. Furthermore, my research identified state neglect, abuse, and violence as the three vital issues in the foster care-to-prison pipeline. Author Abstract)en_US
