Synopsis:
Rex Bloomstein has made several critically acclaimed and
groundbreaking films inside prison, opening up worlds previously
closed to the public.
With this film Bloomstein returns to the subject with an insight
into life behind bars for Britain's under-18's, gaining unique
access to two young offenders centres in the UK.
The number of young people under 18 detained in England and Wales
has more than doubled in the last decade. According to the Prison
Reform Trust, 80% will re-offend and return within two years.
Bloomstein focuses on the personal stories of young offenders
themselves who talk with extraordinary frankness about what led
them to commit their crimes, how they feel about their actions and
victims now and what their futures may hold; their stories, in
their own words.
