Kids say the program is both impactful and controversial, often described as traumatizing and exploitative, as it places teenagers in hostile environments filled with yelling and intimidation in order to deter future delinquency. While some viewers believe it offers necessary reality checks and educational insights about prison life, many criticize its methods as abusive rather than constructive, potentially causing stress and trauma instead of fostering positive change.
