Abstract
This research will consider media as public pedagogy that informs the experiences of Black LGBTQIA+ youth confined to correctional settings
using concepts of adultification and respectability seen in Girls Incarcerated: Young & Locked Up. The paper addresses how the representation
of Black queer girls’ intersectional identity shapes their depicted experiences in the correctional facility setting, as seen in the show. The textual
analysis conducted reveals that Girls Incarcerated creates a complicated narrative for young Black LGBTQIA+ women. It almost moves to
consider larger implications of these representations.
