Prison Life From The Inside - Teen Boys Behind Bars 

It’s crazy watching these I’m on 40 and I was in juvenile lock up and group homes when a teen and yes I had issues but now I look back and realize how much I’ve changed I got a good job a good life and so yes places like that can help

These two young men in the beggining seem so well mannered and respectful, I think they definitely have potential they just need mentorship to give them a hand up. Some of these young men are just trapped in the wrong place with nobody to guide them, and no oppurtunity to get out. No matter how much mom loves them, sometimes they need an outside guide to lead them out

The 3rd teen at 38:49 has a light over him he is gonna be great if not already great I don't know how old these videos are but yea he has a solid spirit about him hope God keep him covered amen💯💯💯💯💯

It’s just so sad,so many young lives going to waste it’s a cruel world!

Great job calmarai productions they continue to make videos of the life of kids within the system the good that it has done to some and the others its in and out and adult prison a life thats all thry know

The only way that people can get out of the gangs, they need to change of address

It’s a experience to look at these videos because I was once at places like that group homes juvenile detention and I lived threw that as a 40 year old now I look back and realize how much I’ve changed and I think places like that now would be better if people who have been threw that could help the teens cuz they could relate to it because the guards and workers didn’t understand what it’s like and yes some teens can’t be helped but some do change I think the workers should be more understanding and try to find out what can help them instead of reminding them how bad and horrible they are

They did it to themselves, they need to learn now. Some of us who've been here and didn't go back understand.

Any Updates?

23:30 did he just say he’s been there since June 22 2007 ? Wow this how old these vids are .. now I wonder where these kids are now.

Updates?

I think they should have like a big brother program for teens when they get out cuz for me I had to change my friends my location I think if they had someone to help them with re entering society it would help them stay out of trouble

The young adult prisons help some and others no threy go back to the sane ways and end back in the prison system for life

Who would want to be a CO in a juvenile facility 😮 The CO says it takes a certain kind of person. It sure DOES 😅

That's to bad.What a shame.Just when you get your cell the way that you want it too!!! They come along and toss it,and mess it up!!!Poor me!!!!

I like how the correction officer said “they’re pretty strong strings from the mattress that can cut u or strangle u” right after he snapped that very same string with his bare hands😂. Don’t believe me?! Go to the 2:49 time stamp in the video and just watch closely😂. These CO’S do to much to make the kids look bad man if they put as much effort into rehabilitation instead of punishment,stigmatizing, and housing they might actually get somewhere in the country.

Nice!! We found toothpaste 😆

i just did 8 months in Anoka County MN its not what they make it look like dont get me wrong its sucks for sure ive been on segregation "DRT" i did 8 months didnt know when i was coming home js going day after day based on personal experience its not what people make t seem

These young men sound like they have so much potential. Too bad the military doesn't recruit in juvenile jails.

Oh shit co still wouldn't answer a direct question how many hours they get let out because if he did people would freak out in the free world on kids

Poor Angels …😂

The kids look pld

15:30 I believe he was going to say “ I hope the lord forgive me” .. praise be to god! Jesus is the way

They Need to join the military ASAP that will get them out of s gang

These CO’s wouldn’t ever make it in a adult prison 😂

Sad hearing these kids say there is no possible way to get out of the gang life. Meanwhile you have ex gang members in California that have been gang banging for decades inside and outside of prison. And they are no longer affiliated at the age of 50. Living normal life's. Working a 9-5, taking care of their families. These teenagers have no concept of real life. It's so sad. They are in the prime spot in life to turn a new cheek and live a normal life. They just push it away and live in denial. That's their choice. Nobody is forcing them. They could move 4 hours away to a new state and city and nobody would know they ever gang banged. They just don't have the mental capacity to even think that far ahead. So sad

Muslim gangs? How long have they been around in the U.S.?

You shouldn't get in the damn game anyway cuz it's hard to get out of Ohio and go but that's some bulshit I'll call it weaknesses in the game and can't get out that you need to join the game the right life you know family if you got children👎🏾👎🏾🤔🙄
