EPISODE GUIDE

• Hampton Roads Regional, VA

  Thursday, January 19, 2012

  Six at-risk teens learn about the harsh realities of life behind bars when they visit the Hampton Roads Regional Jail in Virginia. Robert, a self-described pyromaniac, learns that life would be a "living hell" behind bars - even though his mother is one of the deputies. Hardened teen Jeffery coldly faces a swarm of convicts, until an inmate mother brings him to tears with the story of how the streets took her own son.

Great program, the inmates should be admired for this

What I see the inmates do for these kids is fantastic. Most of them (the inmates) have lost their entire life, have nothing left to look forward to, yet they have stepped up to the plate to make a difference...

ABOUT THE SHOW

A&E's hit series BEYOND SCARED STRAIGHT, which premiered as the highest-rated original series launch in the network's history, returns for a new season. The series, inspired by "SCARED STRAIGHT!," the Academy Award® & multiple-Emmy®-winning documentary film by Arnold Shapiro, profiles dramatic prison and jail deterrence programs aimed at keeping today's at-risk teens from becoming tomorrow's prisoners.
