The Prison Unit That Turns Criminal Teens Into Soldiers

This documentary goes inside a specialized unit at Pendleton Juvenile Prison, once known as the Future Soldiers Unit, designed like a military boot camp for incarcerated teenagers. It shows how structure, discipline, and drill were used to reshape young offenders confined there. The film raises pointed questions about rehabilitation, punishment, and turning troubled youth toward the military. A thought-provoking watch for anyone interested in juvenile justice, prisons, and youth reform. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
