Look for this on cable - it's pretty cool because it's a weekly series and follows a different patch of troubled kids all around the country.
I was a little shocked at the brutality of the women's prison.
Trust me, man or woman ... you do NOT want to go to prison.
I forgot that the original Scared Straight had girls going to the men's prison too. I was thinking Beyond Scared Straight added that part.
I've watched most of the current TV episodes. I thought the first 2 were most effective. The teenagers these days seem less scared by the inmates. Probably because they know nothing bad is going to happen to them while in prison because of liability reasons. Also TV shows about prison are a little more realistic than they had in the late 1970s. So they know what to expect more.
No two persons ever watch the same movie.share
