I have become an admirer of Eugene Jarecki, who is the director of this film.
This movie is so extremely important for everyone to watch as it deals with the horrible reality of institutionalizing humans. Such is the system and it does not require a huge amount of time marinating on the subject to know the truth of it all, the truth this film presents is real.
How might I know? My husband is a teacher in a juvenile detention facility in Ohio for close to 20 years. Children, as young as 13 up to 21 receive sentences into this machine and most are there repeatedly and soon move onto adult prisons.
One year when the population was down, a neighboring drug rehab was closed down. Their numbers were always full, helping kids however remarkably (sarcastically said) numbers at the juv. Det. Facility began to rise substantially.
This film is VERY informative and brings into clear and bright light that the drug war is full of horse **** and should have been called the culling of the poor and folk with black and brown skin.
I truly hold director Eugene Jarecki in very high esteem. Watch this film and others by him. He is amazing.
