Surviving America's Most Extreme Prison for Children

For many troubled teenagers, there is no middle ground between a broken home and a prison cell. In this sobering look inside the juvenile justice system, we follow Carlton, a repeat offender facing his harshest sentence yet: a transfer to the Department of Corrections' notorious "Boy School." From the anxiety of the early morning transport to the stark reality of the intake strip-search, we see firsthand what happens when the streets catch up to kids as young as twelve.
