  I did 2 years for a gun charge. When I was in there this old head told me "When you get out get your life together and do good for yourself and family...if I see you back in here again I'll make it a living hell for you." Once I got out I went to tech school for welding and diesel automotive now I own my own shop. I still talk to him till this day and put money on his book so he's ok in there. Thanks for motivating me Mark and you'll have a job at my shop when you get out. 💯 And thanks for everything to dad love you more than words can ever explain.

  Sentencing a boy to 55 years for burglary, because an accomplice is killed…..that is the epitome of cruel and unusual punishment.

  Documentaries like this should be used in every school to teach young teens early in life that their choices can have severe consequences.

  UPDATE: For anyone wondering, the guy that celebrated his 18th birthday and was sentenced to 55 years due to his friend's death during a burglary - Blake; he ended up serving 3 and a half years and was released in March 2016, in February 2017 him and his girlfriend Katherine (which I believe is the same girlfriend from the video) had a baby girl. There is a fb group with a family photo from 2022, seems Blake stuck to a family life, can't see any other updates unfortunately.

  “I understand why people hate me. I get it. I hate myself too.” That hit me hard

  Don’t take me wrong but being charged with murder without killing someone is plain crazy

  “The child who is not embraced by his village will burn it down to feel its warmth” -African proverb <br>This fits so many of the situations they were put in

  &quot;Well this sucks&quot; I would assume being beaten with a socket wrench and robbed probably sucks as well mate.

  Imagine we come to see this documentary sixty years later and see that there are still 5 years left

  As someone who is into true crime, I&apos;m shocked and saddened at how much time some of these kids got compared to adult men who brutally raped and/or killed someone. There needs to be better intervention for these kids.

  I worked 30+ years with kids like this. I LOVED it. Boys and girls. What I learned the most is one of the main things they want and need is to be listened to. I talked to them not at them. After some of them left the program, they continued to stay in contact with me. I loved that. I’m retired now, and I still think of “ my kids”. I hope they still think about me. I believe they do. 😀❤️🌹🙏
