Behind Bars: USA - Locking Up Children | Free Documentary

Our reporter gained access inside some such 'juvies', and met with minors in the system. In Utah, the authorities are rethinking the conditions of detaining minors. In Texas, on the other hand, the principle is simple: major crime, major penalty. No excuses. Either way, the US justice system is very strict against crimes committed by juveniles.

Who cares about France don't know how many times I've heard it being mentioned

hey guys, i don’t really get what is the video was about. May anyone help me summarize the video plz??

Sure, you want to present prison as torture place rather than rehabilitation, thats why you have such high criminal rate in your country, go see German prisons, learn from them.

The United Nations have passed a resolution called "The Beijing Rules" where his treatment would have been a human rights violation:

"19.1 The placement of a juvenile in an institution shall always be a disposition of last resort and for the minimum necessary period."
Commentary:
Progressive criminology advocates the use of non-institutional over institutional treatment. Little or no difference has been found in terms of the success of institutionalization as compared to non-institutionalization. The many adverse influences on an individual that seem unavoidable within any institutional setting evidently cannot be outbalanced by treatment efforts. This is especially the case for juveniles, who are vulnerable to negative influences. Moreover, the negative effects, not only of loss of liberty but also of separation from the usual social environment, are certainly more acute for juveniles than for adults because of their early stage of development.
Rule 19 aims at restricting institutionalization in two regards: in quantity ("last resort") and in time ("minimum necessary period"). Rule 19 reflects one of the basic guiding principles of resolution 4 of the Sixth United Nations Congress: a juvenile offender should not be incarcerated unless there is no other appropriate response. The rule, therefore, makes the appeal that if a juvenile must be institutionalized, the loss of liberty should be restricted to the least possible degree, with special institutional arrangements for confinement and bearing in mind the differences in kinds of offenders, offences and institutions. In fact, priority should be given to "open" over "closed" institutions. Furthermore, any facility should be of a correctional or educational rather than of a prison type.

First documentary to ever make me tear up

Surprisingly this video makes me want to help youth more that go through tough times.

As an introvert, solitary confinement seems like heaven to me. Then again, i've never been subjected to that kind of confinement.

Waffen Waffen everywere. You Americans habt sie doch nicht alle. Greetings from Germany

I am happy to live in Germany. U are idiots to do this to your kids.

Did you hear Sgt Stephanie sigh when the tv crew asked if the people were innocent?! She soo wanted to say no but it took every ounce of her being to say yes, technically they’re innocent. Then goes on a big thing about how they’re trying to make people not want to come back. Please. You can tell she’s the type you gets off on that little bit of power she has. I bet she’s a nightmare when those cameras aren’t rolling.

To be honest some kids are literally psychopaths

Im not saying New Zealand high schools are perfect, but as far as i know we have never had any police officers or security guards in our high schools. However if gangs become more prevalent, it could happen. i hope not though

Yeah, The Home of the Brave, where only the Police are free. Effing disgrace.

"When my lieutenant tells me I get to hog-tie someone, it's like Christmas." Great.

Ok so immediately I can’t watch this or take it seriously because not even 30 seconds in and the narrator is already wildly wrong about what he’s said so far:
1. There is no way on God’s green earth if you have even the slightest tiny idea of any geography or city populations that you could ever think that San Antonio was “the second largest city in Texas” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s adorable. Dallas and Houston would like you to get yourself a Google to Wikipedia that lol.
2. It’s not pronounced “Bex-ar” County. It’s pronounced like “Bear” even though it’s spelled “Bexar”. It’s called French, one of the six flags that flew over Texas at some point. 🥴🤷🏻‍♀️

Yup because we are a free country 😒

I've got a slight hunch that Stephanie wishes she was a Stephen.

Utah is NOT in the east USA. That would be WEST!

The U.S justice system is in dire need of a reform. Sadly, I don't see any major changes happening. They're still locking people up without giving them a second thought. In the United States, when you're arrested they assume you're guilty until proven innocent, not the other way around like they say.

Glad I'm not a tax payer in LA Joya. Overkill that punishes the tax payers more than offenders

snitches get stitches

Prison should be there for people who are dangerous and a threat to society not for people that we are annoyed at

For two small packages of drugs I don't agree with a child being sent to prison

Kids in school should be treated like kids not like adults and inmates

What's with the constant mentions of France?
I have no idea how the conditions are in France so just stop mention it

If that lady cop believes everything her cops are saying that's a very easy way to get through the network

The gang family boy needs a new identity, new place, school & protection…

This is sickening!

Private-Sector Citizens get incarcerated for a headlight out, and treated as full blown convicts, incarceration without trial. public Sector Criminal Suspects get "Administrative Leave" with full medical benefits, and zero "Human Rights" violations...

Be nice to kids, and I hate that prison

prisons and jails bring in to much money for the U.S to actually use them to rehabilitate these folk.

France sounds nice this time of year for some reason 😂

Sheriff thinks its the old west

the system is so messed up oh my gosh

I do not like her whatsoever. Not because she’s in law enforcement, because how she puffs out her chest, talks about people, treats people… it’s inhumane. She needs to be fired and evaluated for being insane.

reginald should be suing the state for everything he can

there should be some kind of witness protection for the kids that want to leave the gangs

terrible terrible woman. i hope she was investigated after this.

Ik they inmates but do they really gotta sleep on that nasty floor like that? That's dehumanizing and jail is dehumanizing enough

Damn she said she would believe the biggest thugs with badges over the innocent civilians. My goodness she's wicked asf

The land of the free, lol.

I feel conflicted. For a small fight a child shouldn't be sent to Jail or Juvenile either. But if it's assault, R, murder, attempted M then yeah lock them up. But getting too relaxed with the rules and then you'll end up like South Korea where children kill, torture and post online about what they've done and they face 0 repercussions and their name is protected. Let's not end up like SK. ty ty

That sherif lady is the only psychopath here…

Cute cowboy hat. LMAO!

Bexar is pronounced Bear, it's a Native American name. The x is silent

Utah isnt in the east 😂

She went from a stripper to a CO... 😂 nice.
