About the Book

Juvie is the powerful and moving story of a young man's journey through the juvenile justice system. Steve Watkins, a former juvenile justice counselor, draws on his own experiences to create a realistic and unflinching portrayal of life behind bars.

The novel follows the story of 16-year-old Trey, who is arrested and charged with murder. Trey is sent to a juvenile detention center, where he is subjected to daily violence and abuse. He must learn to survive in a world where the only law is the law of the jungle.

As Trey struggles to survive, he begins to question the system that has failed him. He realizes that the juvenile justice system is not designed to rehabilitate young people, but to punish them. Trey must find a way to break free from the cycle of violence and find redemption.
