Synopsis:
In January 2004, two young wards of the California prison system were found hanged in their cells. These needless deaths were the culmination of countless violations committed against youth incarcerated by the California Youth Authority (CYA) — one of the largest juvenile correctional agencies in the United States — and led to an internal investigation. Through the voices of former wards and their families, "System Failure" exposes the horrific conditions and human rights violations endemic to the California Youth Authority: extreme levels of violence and solitary confinement, sexual assault, guard brutality, medical, educational, and mental healthcare neglect, and calls for a complete reform of the system.
