Scared Straight! 1978 Documentary By Arnold Shapiro Can a group of hardened criminals in state prison berate, scream at, and terrify young offenders for three hours and "scare them straight", so that those teenagers will avoid prison life? An interesting question, isn't it? WATCH: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cCJgfYT5nEg ------ MY BLURB: Young people often don't think about the consequences of their actions. Why? Well, the psych industry types have bunches of untested--often untestable--theories. One theory was that no-one ever showed the kids what could become of them if they committed anti-social acts. Well, that's what this documentary tried to do. Did it work? If so, how well? Follow-ups were done, but with mixed results. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scared_Straight! " Scared Straight! is a 1978 American documentary directed by Arnold Shapiro. Narrated by actor Peter Falk – known for playing a police detective on the TV drama Columbo – the subject of the documentary is a group of juvenile delinquents and their three-hour session with actual convicts. Filmed at Rahway State Prison, a group of inmates known as the "lifers" berate, scream at, and terrify the young offenders in an attempt to "scare them straight", so that those teenagers will avoid prison life.[...] M. One thing is clear, though. For millions of years of human evolution, adult men have played an essential role in the healthy development, including the healthy sexual development, of young males. And to think that today young people don't need male adults in their lives is a HUGE mistake! You can thank the femi-nazis for that crazy idea... Comments, anyone? ------ Scared Straight! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cCJgfYT5nEg |
