This is a amazig doc that later became a tv series,I remember seeing this when it debuted in tv, and waiting a week for it to air, back in the days of 5 tv channels. Very thought provoking, although was it effective, sadly, no. But, that has nothing to do with the film. Great scenario, young punk kids who think they know it all and have the world by the horns, , the good old days. Well they plop them in a state prison, with real inmates, no bs, the inmates tell them the truth and dont take kindly to being disrespected. There was a follow up I believe 10 years later, but made for tv, then, there is this LA Times article, 20 years later: http://articles.latimes.com/1999/apr/15/entertainment/ca-27506 There are current seasons for tv available, but, the original is generally the best. A great program, they should keep the kids overnight, or, have the ability to keep them for a few days, maybe the testa duda would eventually get the message, which is, real jail is not like some of our favorite WIP films, although, never visited a women’s prison, prison, it can actually be a pretty good time, unless your a rat or a bitch, then, not so much. KUDOS Wip!
