This school looks more like a prison. If this were an affluent community with majority white students like where I live, this would not fly. It’s upsetting that these adults feel like this helps students.

When the family and faith is broken the children will grow up broken. They grow up with no love or respect for themselves or others.

Stephanie worked in night clubs before? As what?

I watched half way but I can't stand this anymore how cruel and hartless the jail system in the US is. It's a cowboy-state. Makes me grateful to live in The Netherlands

18:38 sounds harmless but it's not. His future is ruined with this.

8:57 She hits the nail!

@zafjas April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

3:55 she (or he) is enjoying this. Did she ever experience love in her childhood.

@zafjas April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

Dispite the US jail system America still has one of the highest crime-rates in the world. So does it work? Here in the Netherlands we deal differently with this. People in jail are still treated as human beings which grants them a diginified live even after serving time.

This typical liberal rag YouTube channel delete's comments not fitting their narrative. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time 😤😤

@Tuckedvisuals April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

This is fucking sad. Treating all of those kids like literal prisoners. I would put my kid in private school or homeschool

@EdTomos April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

How can Stephanie say she always believes the guards over the inmates. If that's the case the guards can do anything they want and get away with it.

@FearUnknown.205 April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

In my opinion: America is not merciful for anyone including children. You got 1 strike rule. You are treated like an animal in jail. U.S Jails target the middle class and under. Not the rich.

As someone with a lot of trauma and someone who was close to ending up going down the wrong path, I've always been a firm believer of asking WHY someone committed a crime. What happened to lead the person down the path? That's a very important piece of information that should absolutely be taken into consideration when providing sentances.

Countries which lock up kids without trial. Madagascar, Cameroon, Kenya, Malawi, Haiti, USA. You get the picture

@disco1446 April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

Thats just cruel. Hos father was abusing him and he loses has life as a 15yo..

@disco1446 April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

So regular school kids get treated like criminals. What message does that send?

@BengtFäktenmark-x1t April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

This is sic.. us just love to put kids in prison.

@linmahoney7152 April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

What kind of word is humanl

@flaboye April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

Why would Texas still allow that kid to remain incarcerated if there was evidence of continued beatings to the level of abuse, by his father. I get having a shitty attorney and getting screwed over initially, but why is he still incarcerated. Come on Texas, do better than that.

@freakinghadee6738 April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

So they can get sadomy by the inmate

@chimmy6405 April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

Watching this video makes me think "PHILIPPINES SHOULD HAVE THIS " most parents in the Philippines tolerate their kids and law in the Philippines is not that strict that's why they're not scared.

@usmcmsgt5487 April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

24:29 This doesn’t work I know three people that were in these juvenile detention. And from what I can tell you, they call them adult recess. After they leave, they don’t care they think the worst that will happen to them as they get to play football. And they did street cred for saying they were in a quote “prison.” But the same teenagers say man if they knew they were going to an adult jail. They would probably think twice before doing the silly stuff they do.

@servus2252 April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

Damn am i happy to be european

You americans sure know how to treat your own citizens as shitty as possible🤯

@michaelmcclure4944 April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

Keeping inmates in a tiny cell for 23 hours a day is inhumane. If they were already having some mental issues before being jailed, they are doomed to have emotional and mental issues probably for the remainder of their lives.

@martamara1979 April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

If you act like an adult, being a minor, you should be treated like an adult.

@pluijm2 April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

I think this is completely absurd. And people who believe this is good have never been young, never done anything? Completely absurd!. And juveniles don't belong in an adult prison. That's even more absurd.

@mallorymeads6413 April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

the enthnoracial demographics of these CHILDREN being policed is so off putting…..

@Kashkelly-k8k April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

Trump should pardon him. Did anyone ask?

@Kashkelly-k8k April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

USA is sad. My grandkids will never see the inside of a public school. They have the ability to mess up a child’s future and opportunity for success.

@shpongled587 April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

WTF!?!?!!!!

@DEichenberg April 1, 2025 - 5:10 pm

Shouldn't we be asking why so many kids are committing so many crimes?
