''[[Scared Straight!]]'' Is a true crime [[Documentary]] made in 1978. As part of an effort to reduce juvenile crime, filmmaker Arnold Shapiro, in collaboration with the Rahway State Prison in New Jersey, filmed a documentary depicting the then-new Scared Straight program, in which juvenile delinquents were taken to the prison to show what life would be like for them if they continued their criminal ways. While the program itself was three hours long in real time, the film reduced it to 52 minutes of the most prominent -- and intense -- parts of the program. |
