I want to mention this publication (actually a series of pubs), although it may be a little difficult to obtain copies if anyone is interested.
Diverse-City is a collection of poetry and artwork by teens incarcerated at the Hennepin County Home School. The program is part of a collaborative project of the Hennepin County Library, Intermediate District 287, Hennepin County Department of Community Corrections and Rehabilitation, with funding support from the Library Foundation of Hennepin County. More information is available at http://www.hclib.org/teens/Diverse_City.cfm. The program was recognized in Excellence in Library Services to Young Adults, 3rd edition, published by the American Library Association in 2000.
The honesty of the writers in expressing emotions and experiences is notable. Congratulations to all on this successful program.

Copies of Diverse City can be found at every Hennepin County Library. All libraries should have the most recent edition, while some might have the older editions.
