Plot Synopsis

BEYOND SCARED STRAIGHT: BACK TALK features brand-new footage and interviews with the participants involved in original episodes of BEYOND SCARED STRAIGHT. Each episode of BEYOND SCARED STRAIGHT focuses on a different prison program in the United States, following four or five at-risk teens as they attend the program and experience their intensive one-day in-prison session. The program then follows up with them one-month later to see the lasting impressions the program has left on them. The first episode of BACK TALK -- from Season 3 of the original series -- takes place in the Oneida County jail in New York, where one of a trio of teen hoodlums is made a brutal example in a restraint chair and officers cuff an explosive bully before he even enters the jail.
