- Summary:
- Contains the original Scared straight! program (1978?) which reveals what really goes on in prison and how the prisoners themselves are the best deterrent to crime. Seventeen teenage lawbreakers were taken inside Rahway, a maximum security prison, for a raw confrontation with hardened convicts. Scared straight! 20 years later revisits some of the teenagers--now in their thirties--and the convicts who tried to change their lives. Shows viewers what impact the experience had on the futures of the teens and convicts alike.
