Sex & Nudity

  • We hear from a newspaper article that a young woman was repeatedly molested in the women's prison.
  • A man in a cell comes onto the boy outside--saying he'd rather have him than the girl standing next to him.
  • The prisoners share threatening gay tales of prison rape.

Violence & Gore

  • Prison rape, graphic stabbings are mentioned. One man talks about killing someone during when prisoners are moving. Another talks about inmates stabbing a prisoner.

Profanity

  • When the juveniles enter the prison, a great deal of profanity is heard throughout.
  • The F-word is mentioned several times. This is hard R in content, with its educational value being the only reason this isn't R-rated, officially.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • The inmates talk about drugs, and several graphic references are made.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • It's frightening, but it's supposed to be. The whole purpose of this documentary, which families should see together, is to deter teenagers from a life of crime.
