Books Not Bars has launched an ONLINE PETITION to Governor Schwarzenegger to CLOSE THE NOTORIOUS AND ABUSIVE YOUTH PRISONS OF THE CALIFORNIA YOUTH AUTHORITY (CYA). Books Not Bars is campaigning statewide to replace the CYA's warehouse youth prisons with HUMANE, COMMUNITY-BASED ALTERNATIVES AND PROGRAMS designed for rehabilitation that help youth in trouble to get their lives back on track.

The petition urges Governor Schwarzenegger to close these notorious warehouse prisons. You can sign the petition from anywhere in the nation, even if you're not in California! People throughout the country must act together in signing the petition and making a statement!
