 troubled youth documentary |

"Scared Straight"  This documentary took place in the 1970's or so I remember. Its about some troubled kids and teens brought to a state prison for some one on one scaring them straight into being good  The thing that made it stand out was that it had alot of explicit language in it and they broadcasted it on national television just a few years ago. It had the "f" word in it had "b" word in it, you name it, they probably said it on the air.

Ok... so it's a predecessor to all the Montel Williams and whatever talk shows that do the same thing... supposedly... "I'm still under the impression all of that is staged."

No, the "Scared Straight" program was real. I don't know if it started in the 70s, but I remember in the early to mid 80s it was a big thing for a while (I was 10 in 1985, so it was for slightly older kids). It was completely real, albeit somewhat cheesy. They took these kids that thought they were all hardcore; many of them agreed to be in the program as part of a probation agreement or for reduced time at juvie hall, and they were sent to a prison to meet several big, angry inmates who were getting "good behavior" credits for doing the program.
Basically, they just got yelled at or subtly threatened to "show" them that prison is no fun. Apparently it was somewhat successful, because they kept the program running on and off (although not televised) for some time, and similar programs are still used today in both the therapy and penal systems.

Then "Likes Boys" has bigger problems to deal with than what to name his/her/itself on a D2 website.
