Ratings and reviews

I was taken back 25 years, to the California Youth Authority. Some aspects may have been overplayed and others undervalued but, overall, this is the truest enactment (since Bad Boys [1983]) of juvenile detention per personal experience; down to spiting on cockroaches in isolation. In short, this film ripped the scars of my soul and left me shaken. For those who don't know juvenile corrections and have wondered, this is a must see!

I've ever seen. This movie is so highly unseen that it's sad most people never heard of this movie. I saw this on Netflix the first time I saw it and I absolutely LOVED it . It's very hard to explain why it's so good. It shows how cruel but helpful teens can be . It's a bit dark but very good over all. My advice WATCH IT!

Because i was almost sent to places several times. Thank u for putting these movies up becuz idk how else i would.have heard of.them..animal factory, felon, starred up, are some other decent flicks. .this is an.amazing film, and it starts sort of slow.but soon gets awesome. .
