Florida's for-profit juvenile prisons are failing youth, and the results are heartbreaking. Juvenile offenders deserve education and rehabilitation, not incarceration. A recent Miami Herald investivation found that the state's for-profit juvenile prisons are hotbeds of violence and abuse with little effort put toward education and rehabilitation. And all the while, corporations are making money from these brutal facilities. We need to do better. Let's close Florida's for-profit juvenile prisons once and for all.
You might be wondering why an ice cream company from Vermont is taking on the issue of for-profit juvenile prisons in Florida. We believe that businesses have a responsibility to give back to their communities and use their voices to make the world a more just place for everyone. So that's what we're doing. We're teaming up with Dream Defenders to call out an injustice and empowering our fans to take action to change it. Now it's up to you — will you take action to support Florida youth?
