Keep in mind these correctional officers know that they're being filmed and know this will be on the air and their supervisors will see it so of course they are going to be at their best behavior.

He’s doing it for the camera!

Normally the officers at intake are a different type of person than the officers bring them in and the officers once they get past this reception time. Right now you don’t want to freak them out also they are trying to find the ones that act out versus kids like this who are behaving now. Also these are child corrections not adult it’s much different than adult prisons

@loose.electricity - thanks so much! Not everyone likes behind the scenes/raw footage like this, so we appreciate your nice words!

You can give them the map but you can't drive the car

blud stop yo yappin

You should be telling them to not commit crimes.

Yes tha'ts right

⁠@@bxi1547yea but sometimes even minor crimes result in consequences you never could have imagined. I was pulled into juvenile probation when I was caught with a small metal pipe and some cannabis. I was placed onto probation had to take drug tests. I stopped smoking cannabis because it took too long to clear the body. Then summer rolled around and like all the previous summers i chose to stay out until 10 or 11. One day we had to go back to court to update the judge. My mother told the judge that I was staying out late. Now bear in mind I wasn’t committing any crimes or doing any drugs. All my drug tests came back negative. I explained to the that yes I was staying out a little late but I had a voracious thirst for knowledge and I would be coming home at an appropriate time when school began next week. Instead I was sent to a residential youth detention facility for nearly 3 months to “help me.” When I got back to school word had spread and I was called a crack head. So although I agree that people shouldn’t commit crimes that harm others. Sometimes kids wind up in these places that they absolutely do not belong. I was housed near individuals who had serious problems with impulse control and violence. My room mate was in there for beating his mother unconscious. Another individual stole a van drove it out into the woods and used it as a hang out. And what was I in there for? Possessing less than a gram and a small metal pipe. It’s crazy because it all happened over 21 years ago. And watching this brings up all the same fear and anxiety I felt back then. So did putting me in a residential unit help? No it just showed me I wasn’t really considered part of the family, that if I cause minor inconveniences I could easily be abandoned, and that although I hated being there I could handle myself while being incarcerated.

Nobody saying she is just doing it for the camera?

They doing it just for the camera they don't care about anybody

@alexarnold174 - it can be a thankless job, for sure. Those who do it well can make a big difference in young people's lives. The difficult part, as we're told, is avoiding burnout. Understandable.

your right they should be out bird doggin chics n racing cars but unfortunately not all juvies have it like that a lot of these kids come from broken homes with no support and guidance and no parent leadership especially with bigger cities like philly nyc chicago pittsburgh cleveland i had juvy life and got out within a year for good behavior everyone has a story as to why these kids end up here

They are there because they were having their kind of fun !Twisted !🤮

@@kazshaw3945did they mention any of their charges? I went to a youth residential detention center for possessing a small amount of cannabis. Did I hurt anyone? Was I a menace to society? No I didn’t belong there. So how about we don’t judge them when we don’t know why they are there huh?

Because they'll try to run away. These are bad people.

@Both-wen - Thank you!

Seriously? The slip and fall off the bunk is the common excuse after a fight. Because they can't snitch or they get beat up again and worse. No1 really falls out their bunk. Lmao. This C O. Is only promoting switching for the camera. Normally it's mind your own business and move along.

I would like see what a girls juvenile prison is like too.

@ericmcpeek I would like to see the girls who were interviewed, such as Kimyada and Aryana, and see where they are now as adults

@annetteslife - thanks for asking! We'll look for that footage and hopefully do a Girls School upload soon!

We're working on that as we speak!

@@CalamariProductions that is awesome

Are you an ex con?

@@bxi1547 no but my neighbor is & he did 5 yrs at chino state prison in CA.

@stst77 - perhaps surprisingly, there are some kids who are sentenced to "Boys School" (which is the term used for kids getting sentenced to juvenile prison in Indiana) who have committed minor crimes. Some of there for drug use, etc. This prison houses a range of youth with many different types of offenses. And you are correct -- many sound like little kids. Matter of fact, many are. Appreciate you watching.

@@CalamariProductionsthat’s not right to put a kid who did a minor crime in maximum security with murderers. Who came up with that idea I wonder!

Perhaps because he got into trouble so many times the court decided that Juvenile Prison would be an appropriate place for treatment (the prison like experience can be used to warn boys that this is what you will probably get if you reoffend after you turn 18. I call it “constructive punitive treatment).

I worked in the system and some of the kids are good kids. They are abused and molested and people don’t believe them when they tell. I had a kid come in who shot his dad with a shotgun. I looked further into it and he had cried out and people just swept it under the rug. They are kids and they will tell stories but if they say something that serious it needs to be taken seriously.

new murders get Juvie life but they surpassed they law by 16 here in ohio your getting charged as an adult for murder possibly life no parole but the youth will be remained in a juvenile detention center until there 18 and go to county jail and etc

Right. If a mf tries you fight back

@@IllinoisDemocraticParty not everyone is a fighter. I do know that if you at least try to fight back even if you get the 💩 beat out of you that you will be respected more then if you don't fight. Lots of uneducated losers in jail & that's sad.

This episode was the inside of Indiana Boy's School, which is supposed to be hell on earth in terms of juvenile detention

They wouldn’t last a few hours in IDOC

You criminals are acting like lasting in prison is something to brag about. If that’s what makes you proud of yourself you failed in life.

Ok tough guy you clown 🤡

@@IllinoisDemocraticPartyok Bruce lee 😂you clown 🤡

@Shunsha00 - curious if your intake was similar to this one. Thanks for watching!

wat state and city is this out of? and wtf is 7-20 or i.g?

They didn't hit you or nothing did they

​@@CalamariProductionshaven also done time at Indiana boy school I can confirm intake was exactly the same for me as in here.

when i went to juvie it wasn’t even bad no fights where i was at everyone was js doin they own thing

You have no idea what any of these kids are locked up for. So stop sounding like a Judgmental prick. I got locked up for cannabis possession when I was 15. So I don’t doubt some of those kids are in there for minor crimes and a judge who had a bad day.
