School-to-prison is when young, and primarily innocent children get into prison for
nonviolent offenses committed at school. Since children need a little more tolerance than adults,

between their parents or guardians, always get disturbed and are likely to commit offenses in
schools against their intentions. Therefore, the analysis of the cases that might lead children
