I seen one of these episodes where the inmate was super nice, like take home to mother nice, and the response he got from the kid was better than the ones where they just scream and yell at the kids. I can see a handful of kids responding well to something like this but majority just need someone to treat them like a human being instead of being treated awful. In one episode the kid was acting out because he didn't have a father figure so one of the guards even took it upon himself to go and visit him and do fatherly things with him
I’ve always thought this!!! Like I wonder if they tell them what to say and to act all crazy like that but then I watch like 60 days and they ACTUALLY act like that.
Did they really make that 12 year old kid who was so sweet and polite the entire time, stay there overnight? Bc he "doesn't want to do chores and yardwork"???!!
Bad parenting for sending him here. This is not the way to teach your child and now these kids have a chance of significant trauma from this (mainly the younger ones, the 16-17 year olds will be fine).
@@daviddbshhh6548 emotionally and physical abuse isn’t how you set a child on the right path. They should just sit the kids down with trusted inmates and let them share their stories, none of this yelling drill sergeant type stuff
There was one episode of this show where a girl hadn't heard from her mom in like 6 months or something like that, no idea where she was or anything and was living with her father and stepmother. She ended up being brought to the same prison her mother was locked up in and met her in the yard when all the kids were being moved between units. It was crazy, girl got the lesson there on the yard and still had to go through the rest of the thing.
This show was so wild, I remember watching this. But a lot of the inmates that do the program actually volunteer in order to prevent these teens from ending up like them. They put on the “scary tough guy” act trying to scare these kids into staying outta jail. The gentler inmate approach sometimes worked better because love is what these kids really need at home. Didn’t usually work though. It normally boiled down to bad parenting.
I've always hated the guards for getting up the kids faces. I always rooted the kids on when they fight back because you deserve what's coming to you if you get in someone's face like that no matter what. Not to mention this kind of approach to troubled youth has been proven to be ineffective.
Its kinda sad how the parents of the kids send them to this TV show when it is the parents fault that the kids act how they do. It just seems to me that the parents send the kids away as an excuse for the bad parenting.
Not always. I went through a period where I acted out and it wasn't anything that my parents did. I just did whatever I wanted to do even when my parents tried to discipline me and change their parenting style.
@@C4DeadCharge yeah it's not as if you're born with bad behaviour. Everything that you are is a result of your parents parenting and the community you interact with.
Getting yelled at didn’t help me, it just got me to hate whoever was yelling at me. I had more respect towards a person if they calmly explained to me what I did wrong. If you come at me angry I comeback at you even angrier, it was my biggest struggle as a kid.
Dude I kid you not that same type of thing happened to me yesterday with my mom. It eventually ended up with me being right but still getting in trouble though
@@McnamaraMissedMe maybe by my parents because minority parents don’t play like that but no, nobody ever did that to me when I was a kid. Imagine wanting to casually punch a kid tho.
The parents didn't hit their kids in this show. They're just burned out not knowing what to do with them. The inmates didn't hit them either, but they yell at them, get in their faces, and curse at them to scare them straight. They're trying to save them from ending up in the legal system. They did speak calmly and friendly to them after the kids are broken down.
Hey Caleb the very first Scared Straight was actually a documentary back in 1978. It was very memorable and some of the language isn't considered PC nowadays obviously but it's a great docu and its hosted by Danny Glover!
"Will it to me Riggs..." I was going to say basically the same thing, the original documentary was more real and genuine, in the 2000s version the convicts and the kids seem to be playing to the camera more.
@@velvetaeon2774 Most of the kids that grew up after that actually lead decent lives, i think maybe a couple turned bad? But the majority of them went straight, i loved the updates at the end, favorite part. and i love how old it looks too, even in the 90's
I know a guy who was on this show, his parents were more abus!ve than anything he faced while on here. His older brother was my ex, when they went back home to their parents for a while, my ex ended up k!ll!ng himself because of the mental/physical abus3 their dad put them thru, as a child and well into their adulthood. I miss him sooo much. RIP Lee🙏🤟
Dude he's only 12 he has so much more to learn and grow from, his mum is awful for making him stay there at the prison (if she actually did or it was fake) he's gonna be so messed up and have to have extreme therapy
Bro, poor Charlie, I think he just has a phase of being a little depressed and that's what makes him find comfort in alcohol, and this may even be because if his mom, like if you took care of your son, this wouldn't be happening..
I am soo sorry! I really hate this so much. What the f***!!! I don't wish this on anyone. Fear based "learning" is proven to be wrong, outdated, unintelligent, and just doesn't work.
Before the last scene was a pretty wholesome moment, when the prisoner said to the boy: "Go hug your mama!!!" That's nice! :) The tragic is that for entertainment were new criminals created, because I think the same kids, who participated in this program, were later inmates!
Yeah keep wasting money on therapy. Americans think therapy is a magical wand that solves all issues. What young delinquents need is tough love. Yeah this prison stuff is extreme but just going to therapy thinking it will solve all problems is wishful thinking. Not everyone can afford that either especially in third world countries where people live paycheck to paycheck.
fun fact: if you get violated in prison you can actually sue for a lot of money. And i mean A LOT. This can also result in the suspension or firing of staff, and an increased sentence for the guilty party
OR for the rest of your sentence the guards are just gonna "forget" to remove you from the worst guys cell, and take bets on how long your gonna live for
The fear of punishment doesn't even work on adults. So there's pretty much no way this would have any positive long term effect on a kid. Therapy. That's what works
Kids can be stressed. yes adults (generally speaking) have more responsibilities. Although kids do have stressors such as school, home life, peer pressure, work, bullying. Depending on the kid there could be more serious issues such as abuse, in any form. ECT.
I never understand how people think this helps? It’s known to have about a higher chance of doing absolutely nothing, And at worse scarring that kid for life causing their bad behaviors to only increase. There’s a slim minority that takes this as a helpful learning experience and even then they come out pretty socially stunted.
Producers are not prepared for a kid to take a man's eye-sight and certainly can't prevent any physical repercussions to the kids when guards are provoked, the crew is prisoners till they get their story straight.
oompaville, if they attack an officer, they can actually get criminally charged, and that has happened on the show 😂 they can't act up like that, they can still get charged
Every time I see or have seen these I always hoped one of the inmates would do whatever it takes to get on the show just to actually grab some kid and actually slap them around a bit or something. Because I mean what do they care their already in there. What just get some more time? I think it would be hilarious
And if not actors most have relatively short sentences and are doing the show/program for reduced time and or benefits. Assulting a kid might get them more time then their current sentence.
Never even thought of that. I see so little of the show it didn’t even cross my mind but that makes sense and ya definitely wouldn’t want to mess things up at the end of a sentence lol
broooo oompaville discovering and reacting to this show for the first time is so funny and i dont even know why. would love to see more of this. i also forgot how evil this show could be but man was it funny

Hitting your kids often for punishment doesn't help, it causes more anger, making them act out, same with verbal speaking

Just put these kids with an angry older brother, they wont be fighting for very long, probably cause they'd be in the hospital
