Filled with broken homes, big brothers raising siblings
The crackheads fiend,
while there are dealers buying bling
And nobody even speaks; different day, same thing
Led by example, so the little boys dream
Of hustling on the block, pushing rocks for a ring

The Beat Within's mission is to provide incarcerated youth with consistent opportunity to share their ideas and life experiences in a safe space that encourages literacy, self-expression, some critical thinking skills, and healthy, supportive relationships with adults and their community. Outside of the juvenile justice system, The Beat Within partners with community organizations and individuals to bring resources to youth both inside and outside of detention. We are committed to being an effective bridge between youth who are locked up and the community that aims to support their progress towards a healthy, non-violent, and productive life.
