[edit] Information

Kid Criminals In America at any one time there are more than 70,000 children behind bars, and this two-part documentary meets some of those in high-security prisons who have committed shocking crimes.

[edit] Part 1

The first programme explores Indiana's Pendleton Juvenile Correctional Facility, where a number of teenagers are serving time for sex offences, including 18-year-old William McConnell, who is being monitored for his predilection for grooming the younger boys in the prison, and has already been sent to Pendleton twice before.

[edit] Part 2

Part two of two. In an effort to reduce the number of children in prison, some US states are trying a revolutionary new approach, with shorter sentences and an emphasis on rehabilitation and treatment programmes. Jason-Caleb Hill was caught breaking into an apartment and stealing a gun. He could be freed within six months if he completes his course. Amanda Artyamsoal was involved in a fatal arson attack that made national headlines. She hopes to be free by her 18th birthday in less than four weeks' time. Cyleina Briggs is spending some of her 10-year sentence at Madison Institutional Facility for girls, rather than an adult prison, while Nathaniel Johnson, 15, has taken 18 months to finish his course - three times longer than most inmates.
