Summaries

A sequel to the documentary "Scared Straight," this dramatic film tells a similar story of teenagers who have committed crimes such as vandalism, petty theft and intoxication. They are brought to a state prison by a probation officer, where they see firsthand the tough conditions. The prisoners verbally assault the teenagers with obscene language. Paul hopes that the experience will frighten the young criminals away from breaking the law again.—Ulf Kjell Gür
