For immigrant teens who are over 18, like Alex, being housed in adult immigration detention facilities also means receiving no educational skills or resources while waiting for trial, says SPLC's Graybill. Alex's asylum case was denied 254 days into detainment, although the judge’s decision was not formally announced for another 82 days, according to SPLC's Hoffman. Between appeals, there’s a chance he could spend six to eight additional months in Stewart, says Hoffman, but that doesn’t stop him from thinking about what he’ll do with his freedom. Over a scratchy phone line, Alex says, “I want to study so I can maybe become a lawyer and advocate for people’s rights. I hope this will be a voice for change because a good society is founded upon respect for human rights."This story is part ofKids IncarceratedaTeen Vogue sales bike Donald Trump’s Black History Month Speech Is Ignorant On So Many Levels sales bike a coming of-age story directed by David Chase (the creator ofThe Sopranos sales bike (a group of former volunteers for Senator Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign), and the Rhode Island Working Families Party, almosttwo dozen sales bike
