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!
