In April 2016, 11 Black schoolchildren, some as young as 8 years
old, were arrested in Rutherford County, Tenn. The reason? They
didn’t stop a fight between some other kids.

What happened in the wake of those arrests would expose a
juvenile justice system that was playing by its own rules. For
years, this county had arrested and illegally jailed hundreds,
maybe thousands, of children. Why was this happening – and what
would it take to stop it?

From Serial Productions and The New York Times, in partnership
with ProPublica and Nashville Public Radio, “The Kids of
Rutherford County” is hosted by Meribah Knight, a Peabody
Award-winning reporter based in the South. The full four-part
series is out now.
