But attorneys and advocates in Michigan and elsewhere say they are unaware of any other case involving the detention of for failing to meet academic requirements after schools closed to help stop the spread of COVID Following a rise in media scrutiny, the agency that oversees the Michigan Supreme Court has opened a review of the case.

And according to data from the Sentencing ProjectBlack youth in Michigan are more than four times as likely to be detained or committed than their white counterparts. Grace was brought into custody in mid-May for violating her probation by failing to complete her schoolwork under social distance learning protocols brought on by the COVID pandemic.

As a result, she had received an Independent Learning Plan IEP at school, which gave her accommodations including increased time to complete asments and extra support from teachers. However, as ProPublica reportedwhen her school district moved to remote instruction in April, these accommodations were not honored—and without the structure of in-person education, Grace became distracted and began to struggle with completing her asments.

And when it comes to learning and social disorders, ADHD has been shown to be a racialized diagnosis —many behaviors often used to diagnose the condition in white children, such as inability to pay attention and defiance to authority, can be interpreted as aggressive behavior or a conduct disorder in children of color.

This can provoke an exaggerated response to behavioral issues from administrators and teachers, and result in children of color receiving stricter punishments or being held back, rather than getting the support they actually need to succeed. This diagnostic trend works in tandem with the school-to-prison pipelinecreating a situation where students of color are disproportionately incarcerated for issues their white peers would receive support for—reinforcing pre-existing educational disparities generation after generation.

The statistics for youth incarceration in Oakland County, the county Grace lives in, are staggering—over the past four years, 42 percent of the 4, cases referred to the county juvenile court involved Black youth.

A petition calling for her to be released has received over 99, atures as of Tuesday, and many people have turned out in support for peaceful protests. Hundreds of Detroit-area students turned out in protest outside their high school calling for the release of a classmate who is in juvenile detention after not completing schoolwork during remote learning this past semester. In the prison-industrial complexrace-based disparities widen—and have real-life consequences.

Remaining in custody, Grace will face decreased educational opportunities and less access to therapy than she ly had, in the middle of a pandemic that has shown drastically higher rates of COVID infections among inmate populations. In the meantime, we must continue working against systems that perpetuate structural inequality—and this includes interrogating the ways in which schools, and punishment systems within schools, operate.
