    There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

    Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

    This show is a blatant excuse for a prison documentary. Of course, I get the idea that people have done things so awfully wrong, but going to jail for it is just crossing several lines.People have become depressed, just because of this show. I'm one of the lucky few. It makes people more insecure about what they're doing and they're always going to say that they're going to get beaten and called names when they do the littlest thing wrong.Policemen always see children and teenagers as adults in this show. Homosexuality and abuse is the result of it. It just makes me want to have a loaded gun next to the active television, and just shoot an officer.Is there anything more I need to say about this aggravating and introverted show?

    It's a good show. The teens acting up tick me off. I couldn't see myself ever disrespecting my mom and grandmother. I would probably be six feet under. I don't have much respect for this site though, because they allowed a p.o.s. like Ernest, say such discriminatory and racist crap. He claims that parents "not whupping their children with belts" and "allowing them to marry blacks" are why kids of this generation are so disobedient. I can't believe they allowed a review like that to exist. I understand that everyone has an opinion, and they have the right to do so, but racism? Really? There are kids who don't date outside their race, and they still end up screwed up. It isn't the race they date... it is WHO they date. Ernest, I hope you see this review, and I am sure you're some old fart who is whiny that "us blacks" aren't slaves anymore. Worthless failed abortion. ANYWAY... This show is about a program that shows young teens the realities of prison. Some people are quite soft, and say that it's too harsh for the kids 16 and under. Only someone of a faint heart would say something like that. I don't agree with the homophobic and derogatory crap they say... but other than those times, those little brats need to be taught a lesson. Anyone "enjoying" the show isn't "vile". You just are too weak minded to watch a show like that. However.... I do kinda blame the parents for how their kids turned out. But "blah blah blah", spanking kids is child abuse. Go figure. Some of the crap they say on the show, I do highly disagree with. I remember one episode where these prisoners were telling this prisoner's mom, that it wasn't her mom's fault that she ended up in prison and such... telling her not to blame her for what's happened. Uh... yes the it is her fault. The show is pretty harsh, but if those parents aren't gonna discipline their kids like they should... someone needs to.

    I see a lot of people complaining about how it's horrible to the kids, the kids are horrible anyway, some even after they go in. I know they're young but some of the stuff they do is terrible.I absolutely loved this show, it was nice to watch a couple of episodes whilst laying in bed falling asleep and finishing what I missed in the morning.I'm only up to season 4 but I'll watch the rest eventually.The criminals stories are interesting too, how it started out so small but turned into something life changing. Hopefully this goes on for a LONG TIME!

    In scared straight, you will see a compilation of insulting, volgure, and quite frankly embarrassing behavior from "respectable officers", showing just how corrupt the police system is. If a normal person behaved this way to 10-16 year olds they would be locked away for years for disorderly conduct, verbal assault to a child, and assault to a minor. This shows real name should be "above the law, and can't be tamed." They use homosexual prisoners to tell the children how they should get in there cells and in addition threaten them sexually and the officers threaten to put them in calling them "fresh meat" and how they "like little boys". They give children who are in need of phsychiatric help a chance to be racist, homophobic, and have ptsd and an extreme fear of officers. They yell at there mom or act aggressive to anyone and they get to get scarred for life but yet people say it's not hard enough, let's just start beating them too. It's a viscouse cycle of aggression and fear with the people/children and police officers and government officials. This show will show you just how above the law you are if you're a cop.
