Beyond Scared Straight: Inmate Stories

[actorben]

If this is Scared Straight, how come these inmates aren't yelling @ the kids and getting in their faces?

[Pekeno201]

@actorben This is a different part of the program. The yelling and getting in their faces part is at the beginning so they can break the kids down. After when they are too scared and tired to be arrogant and have their defenses up, comes the "inmates stories" just as in the title.

The kid at 1:38 looks like a younger Ron Artest.

Some of these episodes are hard some are more mellow with the kids, it varies!

I went through the scared straight program and it was a hell of a lot different than this powder puff shit. Many of the children there with me were in tears and scared to death the whole time and we were told that if we spoke about it, they would revoke our probation. Didn't work. I still spent 10 years in jail over a 12 year or so span.

This episode was the best, San Quentin is probably the worst prison in America...By far the most brutal.

These kids got a dose of fucking reality, that is all.

The only thing to tell kids to scare them is tell them that they will be raped when they go to prison.

I would want to die before going to prison.

[PlainRayna]

Wow. That was serious.

the worst story was the man who was high and robbed a store for 40 dollars and now is spending his life in prison and he got raped
