I'm grateful to see adults in these juvenile detention centers who appear to actually care and listen to these kids. Many people have failed these kids long before they end up in these facilities. Leading with empathy will help them learn empathy. Maybe 1 adult telling them "I hear you, I understand you" can make the difference in how these kids operate once they're out.

i got sent to jail once because my neighbors dog attacked me in my yard. I swung my rake at it to protect myself and the owner of the lady comes on my property to yell at me and call the cops. The cops only investigated her side, didnt ask me my side of the story she told them i threatened her with a rake and got arrested for "menacing" even though im standing on my property getting attacked by a dog she admitted got out of her house without her knowing. they just hauled me off to jail no questions asked. I went to court explained this whole situation to a judge and he still convicted me because he needed to fine me so the county gets paid. I then was investigated by my companies HR for this. Morale of the story i was humiliated, scarred, and almost lost my job and my home due to the incompetency and corruption of our justice system. I make over 40 bucks an hour i get stock options yearly raises have a full retirement ready to go own a 400k house etc, doesnt matter who you are or where you come from this justice system wants you fucked over as much as possible with no recourse.
If you intentionally murder someone youre gonna get sentenced to life. If you’re 18 thats alot tougher sentence than if youre 60. Simple concept that too many young folks don’t even think about.
two things that will shape the character, attitude and behavior of a child whether it be good or bad, the first is at home that is the parents and the second is outside the home that is your friends, with whom you are friends. these two important things have a great influence on children as they grow up.
Neither of which are factors that children have very much control over. If you've gone off track by the age of 18, on the cusp of manhood, and you end up in one of these places, then how do you prevent yourself from being further brutalised. The only objective of the system seems to be Retribution, with no concern for what is left of a man on the other side. America has one of the harshest sentencing regimes, and most brutal penal systems in the developed world, and it certainly has the highest incarceration rates; so why does it also have the highest rates of violent crime, and offender recidivism? What is it supposed to be achieving?
Fk bro you would say anything in that situation these people forfeited their freedom even the first guy he raped a woman no sympathy from me or anyone who commits such a crime.
I really hope the young people watch this .... because the advice this man is giving is truly great...I must have missed it what's the reason why he's there? Seems like a good man.. very sad
@itshaileymarie - it can be sad when we see a revolving door with family members. We always hope for the best, and hope at some point the incarceration cycle ends. Thanks for watching and being here with us on our channel.
Dont gimme that bs..plenty of abused kids dont grow up to be crikinals..so sick of that crap! You chose to do it...suffer the consequences PERIOD! 🤬 Theyre all victims TIL its YOU thats the one they assault/kill arent they! 😒😑
@@ChaseTheHeat several of these kids said they came from good families. Good grades, sports and everything they needed. At some point children look to their peers for acceptance.
I’m married to an inmate he was sentenced to life at age 18. He beat a guy to death after he saw the guy beating his gf outside a bar. We have been married 4 years. He is now 40. He took years to grow up and act like a man. Stop fighting turn his back on gang life. Use his brain to find his purpose. He is not the same person he was at 18. I love him to the ends of this earth, it’s so sad . For him his victims family his family. He deserves to be in prison but also deserves redemption. So many stories like this. Now he focuses on education (when available) and working towards getting out someday. Being a worthy man.
@rachelvaughn60 - Thank you so very much for sharing your story. It helps others see the nuances of cases like your husband's and how a young person like him can change. No, it can't bring back the victim and we know that's a level of pain that is indescribable, yet, we like to think there might also be a place where justice and mercy can meet, especially when it involves people sentenced in their teens. Thank you again for taking the time to comment.
Wow, just wow. Very powerful comment. I feel truly sick from reading it. You laud this man for all of his positive change and growth and reflection, rewarding him the with love and support that so many will never receive, all while crying for his misfortune. The fact is this: he took a life and that can NEVER be undone. He is exactly where he belongs. Millions of hardworking, law-abiding men make the right choice every day and will not get a shred of of sympathy or affection until the day they finally drop into the dirt from exhaustion. They are told their needs are irrelevant and to stay in their lowly places where they belong. I guess if I were smart I would have joined a gang and spent my youth tearing down society rather than foolishly maintaining it. Then I could have a beautiful, wholesome redemption arc, complete with a loving partner and a potentially happy ever after. But now it's too late and I'm just a washed up, 5'6" service worker with a pair of decades left to contribute to the world, if I'm "lucky". I don't blame anyone for not wanting to share what little I have, not one bit. But man, it sure sucks knowing a murdering felon has more to live for than I do.
Beating someone to death because he smacked his gf around? Or did he save the women from being killed or severely injured? In the latter case, I'm on his side. In the first not.
Like the first dude said, the problem starts with men like him who are locked away and can't be there to guide their children. It's an unfortunate and viscous cycle
so sad to see how making such a stupid decision as a kid ruins your whole life, but you have adults out here fully aware of crimes they commit (murder, dui, etc.) but not spending life in prison cause of it
It's what you think you gotta get, not necessarily what you have need! I will say that kids need both parents to set a good example. There are some kids who grow up in horrible situations and stop the cycle, and I have a lot of respect for that!
both of my parents were drug addicts. mom was hard drugs and dad was prescription pain pills. I grew up never knowing the love of a real mother. I was never given a good example. I got addicted to pain pills briefly due to multiple surgeries. I've been clean a year. I get asked a lot when I'm going to meet a nice man, settle down and have a family. I'm 35 now. as much as I want it, I don't think it'll ever happen. I'm worried that I wouldn't be a good mother. I was neglected and abused by my own mom, I don't want to risk putting my own kid through what I had to endure. I can't.
@Johndoe I was not trying to make you pity me. Of course I know others have had it was worse than me. But just because someone else has it worse than me does not mean that what I went through was any less traumatic. I could have listed every single thing I’ve went through, but I figure no one wants to see that. I was only sharing my story. Damn.
Kim Kelly You're totally correct with that statement,as I grew up in a dysfunctional house hold where Mother came at you with whatever wasn't nailed down and my father being an alcoholic . I vowed to break that cycle when I had children. Thank goodness I made that choice to not raise my 2 boys with violence or humiliation and I never did and never will. No I wasn't a perfect parent of course NOT ,but I absolutely tried to be as normal and civil as possible when it came to discipline the best way I knew how with what I learned from it all. Meaning put fourth your best foot to raise your kids and teach them to be productive in this world and to be a decent human being. If you do that they will be well mannered and respectful children to you and others who are in their lives. Just because you had it bad growing up yourself doesn't mean you have to follow that path, because it will only lead you or your children down a dark path and to end up right here where these young children are now.... Behind bars for either years or LIFE!! ,so it's not to take lightly on how you raise your children.. I sure hope anyone who reads this takes in consideration on what I'm trying to get across here, and apply it to home life and make the best of what tools and knowledge you got... Be a role model for your kids and be a parent not a friend, believe me they will appreciate that more then being their friend............... Thanks for reading and GOD BLESS!!!
I agree. I get annoyed when I hear a single parent say "I can raise my kids as well as two parents". Well, you might be able to but statistically, on average, the outcomes are worse.
But at the end of the day there kids tho like yes they commited crimes but u also have to think there kids who prolly were not even raised right or even had bad parents and plus there kids they may have damaged somebody but i highly dought they destroyed someones life that much compared to the damage full grown adult would have done

My brother has been in for 28 years and will be released within 2 years. He has zero tattoos and hasn't caught a single case. Hes scared to death of his reality once released. Things have changed so much.
You've got to prepare a space for him that he can go to that's familiar or typical of decoration and style for the time during the 90s when he was locked up. Technology as well. Try to avoid going to big crowded areas for a couple of months like walmart or county fairs.
Hi guys/ladies im a 22yo man from Western Australia I've been in an out of juvenile detention centre ever since I was 11yo and me being a typical kid thought it was cool I didn't listen an didn't get help fast forward to when I was 18yo I first went to adult prison an spent 4yrs of my life in there I've lost family members whilst in custody when I could've been out spending time with them😢😢❤ it's NOT WORTH IT .💯
Yep. I don’t lose any sleep over these criminals whining about the situation they’re in. Prison should not be about reforming. It should be about punishment, point blank.
@@Dockernan1977 thankfully you aren't the final authority. Because if you don't see a minor as reformable, then you are part of the problem. I agree every criminal youth won't change but enough do. That makes it worth the effort

He is giving back to his community, organizing events aimed at helping other kids who are struggling and need support. He is proof that change is not only possible, but attainable. We couldn't be happier that for him and his family and hope to do an updated interview with him soon!
It’s your choice, I chose to work 16-20 hours a day and make good money as a truck ,when your tired you don’t want to do nothing but to get some rest ,,, that’s my advice to everybody
When he said "rotation," I am thinking about my job working with dogs and kennel rotation for boarding. Here he is talking about HUMANS,😢 that is sad.Damn. Life is fragile. Like he said, "We can't turn back the clock." Morals. The basics..😢❤
I got in trouble for my first time when I was 16 yrs old and was sentenced to 3-6 yrs in prison.did the whole 6, definitely a eye opener and surviving.
You don’t chose your family, your upbringing, your mental issues etc.. this is ridiculous to say it’s all about choices. No kid wants to grow up in jail, not everyone is loved and cared for. You don’t understand humans and lack empathy, you need to educate yourself and stop saying stupid things like that.

A lot of sad stories and situations out there @nancylowery4504. Thankfully, we see some inspirational outcomes sometimes though, too. We hope you'll check out some of those stories here on our channel!
When I listen to a kid say no one has come to see him in all these years. It Makes me sick. He doesn’t have a father figure and his mother was on drugs and Grandma wants to teach him Tough LOVE? WTF! Maybe Grandma should have taught her daughter some tough LOVE. What are the chances this young man has any chance of being successful?
@lisajeter9511 - Some people might be surprised at how many kids get no visits at all while in prison. It makes a big difference to have family or friends stay present in your life during a time like this. We do understand that some kids' families simply can't make the trip when the kids are in a prison many hours away from home, but even phone calls and letters help. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Anyone else notice how none of the offenders discussed how it affected their victims lives? Always talking about their Momma or consequences of bad choices. None of them care about making it right.
I was 15 when I got locked up. The hardships I endured being sent to an adult facility at that age was tough. Not having much support and having them pass while i was incarcerated was even harder. I did 25 years before making my first parole. The learning curve is dramatic. Not having much help is tough. Nothing I have is great but I've legally earned it. I still after 2 1/2 years out have more to learn and figure out and sometimes people forget the things they take for granted when I ask questions sometimes. It is what it is.
@johnquinones1502 - We appreciate you taking the time to tell your own personal story. You never know who might see it and realize they're not alone. We've watched many formerly incarcerated people such as yourself go through the surreal process of re-entering society. Having a support system on the outside is so important, especially if you were a kid when you went in. Your comments are very illuminating and insightful in order to see a bigger picture of incarceration in general. Thank you again for taking the time to watch this video and post.
No one is saying that these punishments are not deserved, most of us are saying that it also sad that these people have thrown their lives away. I am not excusing their crimes.
What if their "victims" were bullies? Or troublemakers? Or horrible people that had it coming? You don't think that deep though which is why you probably work at Walmart
My brother has been locked up for 54 years, and I've been going to see him most of those years. He's health is bad. He's in the Infirmary at this time, because he can't walk after a hip operation. He has a bad heart, stomach problems, ect.
@gregfeilds7240 - wow, that's a long time inside. We're sure your regular visits have meant a great deal to your brother. Many prisoners get no visits at all. As you know, it's a surreal world inside. Wishing you all the best.
Parents often get tired of talking and giving advice but they don't listen. they think they know more than the older ones and feel like they are in charge of the situation. I pity the victims of these guys not them. they got what they deserve. that they spend time in jail to maybe learn to live without committing crimes
15:20 this man. The way he look and the way he talk is really matured. I think he really change for good. 18:23 yes i can see it on you. If you keep this kind of positijve thinking you will gonna be successful
@christinabe1433 - we hear that a lot from kids -- that they just wish they had a "normal" family life. Sounds simple, but a lot of kids never know what that is. Thank you for watching.
I can't relate to doing a ton of time but had a rocky road as a teenager and in my 20's I have done a couple stents in prison only 2 1/2 years at a time the first time was meth and second time was some BS but I have moved on and become better for it.
These kids are essentially screaming “we need help, not punishment” which is the exact same thing I hear from clients who are incarcerated (I’m a counselor) A lot of these people want the help to get their lives on track. There just isn’t any legitimate rehabilitation work going on within the criminal justice system. Only free services contracted or written in via grant money (which is great but it limits the resources allocated to incarcerated clients) I just feel like the world would be safer if we actually put a focus on healing- especially for those with “troubled” backgrounds. Healing is possible. The fact that so many people deny that is a huge reason reoffending occurs. If we end stigma, we also end up limiting crime as a whole. Just food for thought
Heavenly father, I pray that your Holy spirit is with these children. They need your love, grace and guidance! May your glory shine on them and give them hope and strength! Amen! 🙏❤️🙌
It makes me cry because my son is 15 with two counts of arm robbery and he’s not went to trial im terrified and hurt for my child when I tried to get help from the juvenile system no one helps . I even had a police officer to tell me turn over my rights as his mother .
I got a good laugh out of the kid who just turned 18 saying, "I used to be young and dumb and made stupid mistakes." LoLz Young man, you are still young, but not dumb! You know what you have to do. I wish you the best! Keep your head up and stay clean. Also, find yourself a good support system.
@bthearen - it's funny how so many kids we interview in prison feel like they've already lived a lifetime (we guess some of them have, in a way). You are very right about finding a good support system. That can make ALL the difference. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Growing up in juvenile maximum security i thought i was building my resume so to speak. The more time i done the more charges i racked up the more illegal activity i engaged in inside and outside the better. I used to write my name and length of sentences serverd on the walls with Lifer by it. I fastly becsme institutionalized all my friends at thst point were also young offenders. I am 41 now and man i wish i had a different upbringing good romodels instead of the bad. I carried a different mentality my whole life. Only last few years i have changed my ways of thinking for the most part. I went on as a adult served time sold drugs, assalted people etc.. all my friends also did similar. Nothing cool about it. I wasted most of my life and u aint got to be in jail u can still be doing time. Kids need positive romodels, mentors people to guide them young kids teen agers are at the age they are becoming the type of man or woman with the beleafs and way of thinking that make them who they are. Its hard to chance for most after they been subject to this jail life. Man, i wish i can go back in time but i cant.
You recognize and take responsibility for what u did, alot of people can't do that. Doesn't matter that you're 41 it's never too late to change. You can be that positive role model for some of these young kids. Even though I dont know you, I'm proud of you.
At the 15 minute mark , that kid with the short Afro, it hurts me inside, listening to him. He seems like such a great kid and that just shows one wrong decision. he was big into football. He had colleges that wanted him. I really hope this kid got back on track . It shocks me that he’s there in prison. He does not seem like a bad kid at all. I just hope he makes better decisions and I pray for him.
@Samuel - It says in the description he was sentenced to 50 years. I agree he seemed lost and was looking for direction, but not receiving support to change his life.
The old man? He's victim blaming. He's telling people who were forced into the system that it's their fault. With that kinda mentality, he prolly maked out with his CO.

And people say, "your child is homeschooled how's he gonna learn how to socialize with his peers?" He socializes just fine with adults and I'm good with his "peers" wanting nothing at all to do with him.
the ole you'll never have fun or get to experience shit but at least your safe approach. hopefully they dont decide around 18-25 they need to make up for it.
They are the victim. They didn't ask to be born, they didn't pick their caregivers, the society they found themselves in, their brain. You're just extremely lucky don't give yourself too much credit.
@blablubb1709 - Thanks for watching! We've actually been doing that with a few of the kids we've followed over the past 25 years. We'll have big news coming soon! Have a great week!
They say that what you learn in prison is how to manipulate people, very much including how to manipulate people with a version of one's life story and/or claims of now being "different". That makes the issue of dealing with prisoners and ex-prisoners even more uncertain and potentially dangerous. Not that I don't believe that people can turn themselves around in prison, but not everyone who has a moving story to tell is what they're saying they are. Some research is coming out now that makes it look as if some criminality could be genetic given how it stretches 'way back in some criminals' family trees. Don't rush in as a good-hearted helper unless you've been hugely warned and informed in detail about how skilled and treacherous the manipulation you might be facing could be.
@vancouverterry9142 - we feel fortunate that we're able to follow young people through the system for decades, including keeping in contact with counselors, family members and prison officials. It helps give us a broad view of how the system does or doesn't work, and how young people mature while behind bars. Manipulation is certainly an issue to be dealt with, and as research shows, the brain can mature differently depending on the environment one is in. Still, we are grateful to have such a unique perspective of young people growing up behind bars (depressing as it is). Thanks for taking the time to watch and post your comment!
You are absolutely correct! I’ve worked in corrections and one of these boys is totally manipulating the audience. He’s saying EVERYTHING “right” and what ppl want to hear. I don’t trust one thing about him, he’s a master manipulator. The best thing I could do for him is pray.
I apply the basic counter intel brief they make soldiers do every year to everyone I meet. and the rules are simple is this guy way to interested in you (cause you are not that interesting), does this dude have all the same interest as you, if he acting like he's known you for years being overly helpful, super sympathetic, and crazy agreeable? he's 100% trying to hustle you. having been homeless when I was younger (it was a short enough period to where I didn't go native, but long enough to get a accurate observation) and having worked in prison. I'm convinced that homelessness and incarceration create environments that to force people to max up manipulative skillsets. be it learning how to be sympathetic, acting crazy/aggressive to avoid contact, getting comfortable enough being looked down on to be shameless. being in an environment where you have nothing, and have no ability to get anything with what you currently have. in which your forced to get things from others that will give it away. that acts as a masterclass in manipulation. and when people are comfie in that domain they will be like that forever. honestly though its logical that conman and prostitute are the oldest professions.
Wow the dude who said that he still hasn't got any help while being in jail to figure out why he killed his parents. That's crazy. He came in as a child who just killed his parents and they don't think they need to get him counseling or anything for that?
@tiendaphillips8738 - This situation is exactly why a lot of people advocate to keep kids in the juvenile system vs. adult when something tragic like this happens. The juvenile system at least provides for education and counseling, something desperately needed for young people like this. It's a whole different world when young kids are immediately sent to adult prison.
Have you ever thought that their parents are or were in prison? How about changing the system? Look at the EU, there is much less crime and far fewer prisoners. What do you think the chances are for children who grew up in prison? Do you think they will get a job or be able to rent something? Your system is crap and yet people are still blaming young offenders.
Freedom is the most valuable thing in life.

i got sent to jail once because my neighbors dog attacked me in my yard. I swung my rake at it to protect myself and the owner of the lady comes on my property to yell at me and call the cops. The cops only investigated her side, didnt ask me my side of the story she told them i threatened her with a rake and got arrested for "menacing" even though im standing on my property getting attacked by a dog she admitted got out of her house without her knowing. they just hauled me off to jail no questions asked. I went to court explained this whole situation to a judge and he still convicted me because he needed to fine me so the county gets paid. I then was investigated by my companies HR for this. Morale of the story i was humiliated, scarred, and almost lost my job and my home due to the incompetency and corruption of our justice system. I make over 40 bucks an hour i get stock options yearly raises have a full retirement ready to go own a 400k house etc, doesnt matter who you are or where you come from this justice system wants you fucked over as much as possible with no recourse.
Wow.. no other words for your story.. just wow.
You lived my biggest fear, going to jail or prison for something I couldn't help or didn't do. Sucks
I’m so sorry.
Wow that's fucked up. I'm sorry that you had to go through that.
Sounds like you need better lawyer rich don't go to jail 😊
If you intentionally murder someone youre gonna get sentenced to life. If you’re 18 thats alot tougher sentence than if youre 60. Simple concept that too many young folks don’t even think about.
for real thats a true but shity way to look at it.
Or you get sentenced to death in some states
Unless ur rich. If your rich and big celeb u can get away with anything
Very true!
two things that will shape the character, attitude and behavior of a child whether it be good or bad, the first is at home that is the parents and the second is outside the home that is your friends, with whom you are friends. these two important things have a great influence on children as they grow up.
Neither of which are factors that children have very much control over. If you've gone off track by the age of 18, on the cusp of manhood, and you end up in one of these places, then how do you prevent yourself from being further brutalised. The only objective of the system seems to be Retribution, with no concern for what is left of a man on the other side. America has one of the harshest sentencing regimes, and most brutal penal systems in the developed world, and it certainly has the highest incarceration rates; so why does it also have the highest rates of violent crime, and offender recidivism? What is it supposed to be achieving?
I believe this kid also when he says he’s not a bad kid .when I’m hearing him talk he seems like a good kid he’s smiling, I wish I could help this kid
Fk bro you would say anything in that situation these people forfeited their freedom even the first guy he raped a woman no sympathy from me or anyone who commits such a crime.
You can help, it's called criminal justice reform

I’m married to an inmate he was sentenced to life at age 18. He beat a guy to death after he saw the guy beating his gf outside a bar. We have been married 4 years. He is now 40. He took years to grow up and act like a man. Stop fighting turn his back on gang life. Use his brain to find his purpose. He is not the same person he was at 18. I love him to the ends of this earth, it’s so sad . For him his victims family his family. He deserves to be in prison but also deserves redemption. So many stories like this. Now he focuses on education (when available) and working towards getting out someday. Being a worthy man.
@rachelvaughn60 - Thank you so very much for sharing your story. It helps others see the nuances of cases like your husband's and how a young person like him can change. No, it can't bring back the victim and we know that's a level of pain that is indescribable, yet, we like to think there might also be a place where justice and mercy can meet, especially when it involves people sentenced in their teens. Thank you again for taking the time to comment.
Wow, just wow.
Very powerful comment. I feel truly sick from reading it. You laud this man for all of his positive change and growth and reflection, rewarding him the with love and support that so many will never receive, all while crying for his misfortune. The fact is this: he took a life and that can NEVER be undone. He is exactly where he belongs.
Millions of hardworking, law-abiding men make the right choice every day and will not get a shred of of sympathy or affection until the day they finally drop into the dirt from exhaustion. They are told their needs are irrelevant and to stay in their lowly places where they belong.
I guess if I were smart I would have joined a gang and spent my youth tearing down society rather than foolishly maintaining it. Then I could have a beautiful, wholesome redemption arc, complete with a loving partner and a potentially happy ever after. But now it's too late and I'm just a washed up, 5'6" service worker with a pair of decades left to contribute to the world, if I'm "lucky". I don't blame anyone for not wanting to share what little I have, not one bit.
But man, it sure sucks knowing a murdering felon has more to live for than I do.
He will be out of prison after 2100s, he might be free again
Beating someone to death because he smacked his gf around? Or did he save the women from being killed or severely injured? In the latter case, I'm on his side. In the first not.

This is a pretty well made documentary, nice 👍🔥
I see that most criminals just needed good fathers to be their role models so that they would not commit the mistakes.
Like the first dude said, the problem starts with men like him who are locked away and can't be there to guide their children. It's an unfortunate and viscous cycle
A lot of mothers turn the sons against they fathers
@@davidortiz3094 That’s if the fathers are around in the first place
Government wants to play the father role that’s where it starts going down hill
BS. I worked corrections and grew up in South L.A….most had good homes, they choose to be stupid
so sad to see how making such a stupid decision as a kid ruins your whole life, but you have adults out here fully aware of crimes they commit (murder, dui, etc.) but not spending life in prison cause of it
It's what you think you gotta get, not necessarily what you have need! I will say that kids need both parents to set a good example. There are some kids who grow up in horrible situations and stop the cycle, and I have a lot of respect for that!
@Kim Kelly - and that cycle can be very hard to break. We're always happy when we see that happen!
both of my parents were drug addicts. mom was hard drugs and dad was prescription pain pills. I grew up never knowing the love of a real mother. I was never given a good example. I got addicted to pain pills briefly due to multiple surgeries. I've been clean a year. I get asked a lot when I'm going to meet a nice man, settle down and have a family. I'm 35 now. as much as I want it, I don't think it'll ever happen. I'm worried that I wouldn't be a good mother. I was neglected and abused by my own mom, I don't want to risk putting my own kid through what I had to endure. I can't.
@Johndoe I was not trying to make you pity me. Of course I know others have had it was worse than me. But just because someone else has it worse than me does not mean that what I went through was any less traumatic. I could have listed every single thing I’ve went through, but I figure no one wants to see that. I was only sharing my story. Damn.
Kim Kelly You're totally correct with that statement,as I grew up in a dysfunctional house hold where Mother came at you with whatever wasn't nailed down and my father being an alcoholic . I vowed to break that cycle when I had children. Thank goodness I made that choice to not raise my 2 boys with violence or humiliation and I never did and never will. No I wasn't a perfect parent of course NOT ,but I absolutely tried to be as normal and civil as possible when it came to discipline the best way I knew how with what I learned from it all. Meaning put fourth your best foot to raise your kids and teach them to be productive in this world and to be a decent human being. If you do that they will be well mannered and respectful children to you and others who are in their lives. Just because you had it bad growing up yourself doesn't mean you have to follow that path, because it will only lead you or your children down a dark path and to end up right here where these young children are now.... Behind bars for either years or LIFE!! ,so it's not to take lightly on how you raise your children.. I sure hope anyone who reads this takes in consideration on what I'm trying to get across here, and apply it to home life and make the best of what tools and knowledge you got... Be a role model for your kids and be a parent not a friend, believe me they will appreciate that more then being their friend............... Thanks for reading and GOD BLESS!!!
I agree. I get annoyed when I hear a single parent say "I can raise my kids as well as two parents". Well, you might be able to but statistically, on average, the outcomes are worse.
No mercy or pity for what they done before you start pitying these guys look at the victim they destroyed there lives

@lisajeter9511 - Some people might be surprised at how many kids get no visits at all while in prison. It makes a big difference to have family or friends stay present in your life during a time like this. We do understand that some kids' families simply can't make the trip when the kids are in a prison many hours away from home, but even phone calls and letters help. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Anyone else notice how none of the offenders discussed how it affected their victims lives? Always talking about their Momma or consequences of bad choices. None of them care about making it right.
I was 15 when I got locked up. The hardships I endured being sent to an adult facility at that age was tough. Not having much support and having them pass while i was incarcerated was even harder. I did 25 years before making my first parole. The learning curve is dramatic. Not having much help is tough. Nothing I have is great but I've legally earned it. I still after 2 1/2 years out have more to learn and figure out and sometimes people forget the things they take for granted when I ask questions sometimes. It is what it is.
@johnquinones1502 - We appreciate you taking the time to tell your own personal story. You never know who might see it and realize they're not alone. We've watched many formerly incarcerated people such as yourself go through the surreal process of re-entering society.

Your comments are very illuminating and insightful in order to see a bigger picture of incarceration in general. Thank you again for taking the time to watch this video and post.
100 years for kidnapping and rape? The normal sentence for murder is 25 to life… how does he get 4 times that with no murder?
Depends on the age of the victim and depravity of the act. Also, was it premeditated?

Made me think of another documentary where it was said that we should jail the people we FEAR not the people we’re mad at. Rehabilitate the 2nd group.
These kids are essentially screaming “we need help, not punishment” which is the exact same thing I hear from clients who are incarcerated (I’m a counselor)
A lot of these people want the help to get their lives on track. There just isn’t any legitimate rehabilitation work going on within the criminal justice system. Only free services contracted or written in via grant money (which is great but it limits the resources allocated to incarcerated clients)
I just feel like the world would be safer if we actually put a focus on healing- especially for those with “troubled” backgrounds. Healing is possible. The fact that so many people deny that is a huge reason reoffending occurs. If we end stigma, we also end up limiting crime as a whole.
Just food for thought

Growing up in juvenile maximum security i thought i was building my resume so to speak. The more time i done the more charges i racked up the more illegal activity i engaged in inside and outside the better. I used to write my name and length of sentences serverd on the walls with Lifer by it. I fastly becsme institutionalized all my friends at thst point were also young offenders. I am 41 now and man i wish i had a different upbringing good romodels instead of the bad. I carried a different mentality my whole life. Only last few years i have changed my ways of thinking for the most part. I went on as a adult served time sold drugs, assalted people etc.. all my friends also did similar. Nothing cool about it. I wasted most of my life and u aint got to be in jail u can still be doing time. Kids need positive romodels, mentors people to guide them young kids teen agers are at the age they are becoming the type of man or woman with the beleafs and way of thinking that make them who they are. Its hard to chance for most after they been subject to this jail life. Man, i wish i can go back in time but i cant.
You recognize and take responsibility for what u did, alot of people can't do that. Doesn't matter that you're 41 it's never too late to change. You can be that positive role model for some of these young kids. Even though I dont know you, I'm proud of you.

They say that what you learn in prison is how to manipulate people, very much including how to manipulate people with a version of one's life story and/or claims of now being "different". That makes the issue of dealing with prisoners and ex-prisoners even more uncertain and potentially dangerous. Not that I don't believe that people can turn themselves around in prison, but not everyone who has a moving story to tell is what they're saying they are. Some research is coming out now that makes it look as if some criminality could be genetic given how it stretches 'way back in some criminals' family trees. Don't rush in as a good-hearted helper unless you've been hugely warned and informed in detail about how skilled and treacherous the manipulation you might be facing could be.
@vancouverterry9142 - we feel fortunate that we're able to follow young people through the system for decades, including keeping in contact with counselors, family members and prison officials.

Manipulation is certainly an issue to be dealt with, and as research shows, the brain can mature differently depending on the environment one is in. Still, we are grateful to have such a unique perspective of young people growing up behind bars (depressing as it is). Thanks for taking the time to watch and post your comment!
You are absolutely correct! I’ve worked in corrections and one of these boys is totally manipulating the audience. He’s saying EVERYTHING “right” and what ppl want to hear. I don’t trust one thing about him, he’s a master manipulator. The best thing I could do for him is pray.
I apply the basic counter intel brief they make soldiers do every year to everyone I meet. and the rules are simple is this guy way to interested in you (cause you are not that interesting), does this dude have all the same interest as you, if he acting like he's known you for years being overly helpful, super sympathetic, and crazy agreeable? he's 100% trying to hustle you. having been homeless when I was younger (it was a short enough period to where I didn't go native, but long enough to get a accurate observation) and having worked in prison. I'm convinced that homelessness and incarceration create environments that to force people to max up manipulative skillsets. be it learning how to be sympathetic, acting crazy/aggressive to avoid contact, getting comfortable enough being looked down on to be shameless. being in an environment where you have nothing, and have no ability to get anything with what you currently have. in which your forced to get things from others that will give it away. that acts as a masterclass in manipulation. and when people are comfie in that domain they will be like that forever. honestly though its logical that conman and prostitute are the oldest professions.
crazy I thought this dude was a teenager based on his voice. he's still there, stuck in time
100 years waste in prison u never see the streets again
100 years in prison that means life sentence in prison and it's not good for a young man
@@imthehero76the young man who raped someone. He threw his own damn life away
That one dude is staring in 2 different directions at the same time.
In college I learned how to get through College.
Heartbreaking!😢😢
Wow the dude who said that he still hasn't got any help while being in jail to figure out why he killed his parents. That's crazy. He came in as a child who just killed his parents and they don't think they need to get him counseling or anything for that?
@tiendaphillips8738 - This situation is exactly why a lot of people advocate to keep kids in the juvenile system vs. adult when something tragic like this happens. The juvenile system at least provides for education and counseling, something desperately needed for young people like this. It's a whole different world when young kids are immediately sent to adult prison.
Thats the system were living in.😢
There is hardly a more straight forward way to generate repeat offenders than putting a kid in prison.
I feel as bad for the guards as I do the inmates. The inmates might look a little less miserable.
Stop trying to make sense dog😂 cause you don't have any 😂😂😂
This is the result of parents failure to be role models and lacking adult supervision
Have you ever thought that their parents are or were in prison? How about changing the system? Look at the EU, there is much less crime and far fewer prisoners.
What do you think the chances are for children who grew up in prison? Do you think they will get a job or be able to rent something? Your system is crap and yet people are still blaming young offenders.
Last guy should get an extra day tacked on for every “nom sayin”
All prisons should be like Louisiana, hard labor makes you sleep better at night.
SALUTE! YOU CAN DO IT! A LITTLE BIT OF HOPE & FAITH IS ALL IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE GOES ALONG LONG WAY
