Scared Straight! 10 Years Later
- Synopsis
- Alternates clips of convicts and teenagers from the original SCARED STRAIGHT! (1978) with interviews of the same people ten years later. The goal of the origianl programme was to steer young offenders away from a life of crime by showing them first-hand the horrors of life in prison. While many of the young people interviewed did change, some of the inmates were unable to follow their own advice and seemed to be trapped in the prison cycle. Many of those interviewed say drug use was a major factor in their violent lifestyle.
