Not even 2 minutes in and I am blown away at the Peace Learning Program and their success rate with the girls. Looking forward to watch this video, thank you
This is great!! I have ALWAYS wanted yall to film in a female juvenile facility. I spent time working in crisis intervention in a female juvenile facility for a few years. Now enjoying my time off and working on my ptsd but still able to comfortably enjoy the work by watching your videos. Thank you!
@taram6026 - Thanks so much!! We love hearing from people like you who find our videos useful. We appreciate your viewership and the time you took to comment! :)
@mistysteffen9244 - Thanks for being with us! We don't have as many videos with females as we do with males, but we'll be posting more in the days and weeks ahead. Thanks for watching and for you nice comments!
I was 14 when yes sneaking out late at night was wrong, my mother called the police and I was charged with absenting from home without parent permission. In court they said I was incorrigible (as my mothers statement was I was not sorry enough )and I was sent to the state juvenile prison where I was with violent and criminal girls, I had to stay there for 2 years ! I fought my way out thru education graduating thru the program at 16. I went right into college but at 16, I was not ready for the rigors and maturity required for success. I always felt I lost my childhood, as I spent those 2 years trying to survive. Getting out even with what I did accomplish I was labeled a bad girl and many former friends were forbidden to associate with me. The High school I had attended does not include me or my picture, I still at 64 have ptsd about that experience.
@janemarinelli7843 - We are so moved that you shared your story on our channel. It poignantly touches on how deeply a young person's experiences in the system can last a lifetime. We've also had other youth tell us that after they spent time in the system, they lost friends for the very reason you did -- they were labeled a troublemaker and parents forbade them from associating with them anymore. Yet, your post also does this -- it helps give hope to others that they are not alone. Yours are important stories to tell. It's the power of words and video that can hopefully help effect change. Thank you again for such a powerful story. We wish you nothing but the best.
@@ImagineAsylo She died at 64, from cancer, I asked her a lot of questions while she was ill but got no answers, but in taking care of her I think she knew what she did was a wrong to me. And yet I still showed up for her to her last breath. We don’t have to be what we were raised.
2 yrs for sneaking out?!?! What in the actual f*ck!! I’m so sorry that happened to you and I’m angry for you. If my son ever snuck out, yes I’d be mad but bc I would be worried about him and his safety! I would never want him sent to a juvenile facility for something stupid like that.
I was in Macon girls prison in the 80s for chronic running away from my step father abuser.He threatened to kill me in the middle of the night in my mom's car .He was well of and friends with the sheriff of our county.needless to say I became a women and children's advocate testified in front of congress using my life story to pass bills .I always say it was all a blessing in disguise. As my caseworker knew something was off and they begged me to tell.i just wanted my mom to be safe.
@rhiannonrose4841 - wow, thank you for sharing such an important story. The fact that you took the worst period in your life and turned it into something powerful later in life is a true act of courage. You may never know how many lives you've saved in return. THANK YOU for sharing your story. You never know who might see it and find strength because of it.
One way you can get motivated is to ask yourself this: Imagine this, when you are young and at heart you never realize what is going to happen at times like this when you’re older basically reading this comment and wondering what is happening. Wanna know why? Ok let me tell you why: you need to try to ask yourself why.. why would you do that? Let me explain this: get off UA-cam and get a life.
Dave Pelzer is a person of dubious integrity that seems to have exaggerated his abuse for dollars. Yes, I've read the 3 books in the series (Child Called It, The Lost Boy, and A Man Named Dave). His inability to withstand scrutiny or criticism is also sus to me.
lady in pink talking to the inmate like shes a little girl or dog - that is their level of expert care and support for inmates with mental or physical issues?
When I was in juvenile the girls was more hell raiders than us boys and every once in a while for briefly I would get to talk to them bc I was in charge of cleaning and laundry and dam they was crazy lol this was just over 20 years ago
@nellebuhrmann5343 - thank you for your questions. The cots in the unit were there because it was an overflow night at the center. All the rooms were filled. The girls on camera all agreed to be on camera. The majority of the youth we film (along with their families) want to participate because they believe they can help others see what it's *really* like to go through the juvenile justice system. They often tell us had they been able to see videos like the ones they participate in, they would have had a different outlook on things. They also want to show their faces because they hope people will see that they are everyday kids, not the monsters some people imagine when they think of kids behind bars. We are endlessly grateful they allow us to film their experiences, and give back by offering our content pro bono to many, many youth organizations, schools, legal entities and advocacy groups. Hope this helps answer your questions. Thanks again for watching!
@claudiayork2270 - Apologies for that. We didn't used to put a microphone on the interviewer back when this video was filmed. Sorry it was hard to hear but thank you for watching!!
@jessicajimenez4696 - we're happy to report he's doing great! We will also be uploading an updated version of his documentary in the very near future. Thank you for asking!
So what was the original intent of all of these juvenile detention center recordings? Were they ever actually finalized into anything or did you just film it all and store it for all these years and then find the videos years later and put them up on UA-cam?
@jileroy33 - thank you for asking. We have produced dozens of documentaries over the years with many people finding interest in all aspects of the juvenile system. Because of this, we decided a few years ago to open our archive to allow people to see a lot more than what they normally see in an edited show. Many of our videos are used for education and training purposes, something we take great pride in. Full shows aren't ideal for those purposes, so individual videos like the ones we upload can offer options for people who might be looking for specific content to use in the classroom, etc. Again, thank you for asking.
@@jleroy33 We love hearing from people like you who work inside the system. As you know, it’s a world a lot of people know very little about. Appreciate you being here on our channel with us!
@@CalamariProductions I don't work directly with the kids. I'm an engineer and I often have to go up to the pods and fix things or shut their water off when they're trying to flood their rooms. It's crazy. 12 year olds with full face tattoos yelling that they'll kill me for shutting off their water. I'm in a big urban city so, our kids are quite a bit different than the ones in these videos.
My big red button is age 7 and. witnessing my 19 year old brother commit by gin, My big red button is at age 12 in a psych ward had watch another patient murder another patient with a cafeteria tray because staff said they weren’t allowed to interfere until police showed up, My big red button is being G.R at 16 at my high school and police refused to press charges, My big red button is being locked in a prison cell at 18 and not only had watch another inmate get murdered outside my cell door but her blood flooded my cell and I had to stand on my toilet until guards removed me to clean my cell and they didn’t ask me if I was mentally ok they just said “inmate just stay right were you are, we will remove you as soon as we can to clean your cell”, My big red button is at age 25 I was D.F.S.A.W/O.C.S.I From age 12-27 I was meth and cocaine addict been clean since May 17 2019
They really call a cell timeout and play with hula hoops😑sure seems a lot less tough than the juvenile detention video with the guys so much for equality🙄😂🙄😂

Well good luck to all the young ladies doing time hope you make it through I wish you the best ❤
I would love to know this lady. She could help train or share what works. Love her heart.
In short, she has freed herself, in order to move on in life and progress, fair play to her👏

Been in juvenile detention along time ago when I was a stupid kid running around Denver Colorado way back when
Her numbers are off that would be 99%
Peace shirt has a body that won’t quit!! Damn!!! 😃
