Talk show host and author Tavis Smiley

The sixth episode of TAVIS SMILEY REPORTS, “Education Under Arrest,” premieres Tuesday, March 26, 2013, 8:00-9:00 p.m. ET on PBS.

A new episode of TAVIS SMILEY REPORTS (TSR), a primetime special on PBS, looks at the connection between the juvenile justice system and the dropout rate among American teens, as well as the efforts by educators, law enforcement professionals, judges, youth advocates and the at-risk teens themselves to end what has become known as “the school-to-prison pipeline.” In the sixth installment of TSR, and the second in a series of education specials, host Tavis Smiley takes his cameras across the country to present a narrative of what is working on the frontlines of reforming the juvenile justice system.
