520			_a"Marcos Alvarez peers out the 8-inch window of his steel cell door, straining to catch a glimpse of the world beyond. There's not much to see--another door, an empty concrete hallway--but it helps pass the time. Alvarez, 19, spends about 23 hours a day in Cell No. 29--just him, a toilet, a sink and a narrow bunk. He does push-ups. He writes letters....And he watches the food slot in that thick steel door, waiting for the next meal to arrive. A wiry teenager who joined a gang at age 9, Alvarez lives in a special isolation cell, where he was sent after joining a fight in his regular housing unit at a state juvenile prison here in the Sierra foothills east of Sacramento. It's hard time, but Alvarez says he has learned to cope with the harsh conditions. (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article reports on the results of an investigation of California's youth penal system and reveals that for many incarcerated juveniles "the effort to survive overshadows hope for rehabilitation."
