Inside America’s Toughest Boot Camp for Troubled Teens | Free Documentary
No-Go Zones – Khayelitsha, South Africa: https://youtu.be/3lLoC3C_UdI
Critics claim they’re little more than ’torture camps’, taking tough love way too far. But for desperate parents, military-style boot camps are often seen as the last chance for their children to avoid the vicious cycle of delinquency and jail.
We spent five months at the Discovery Challenge Academy, which welcomes 125 troubled adolescents every year. The first two weeks are the hardest. Everything is strictly regimented: 10 minutes to eat, 2 minutes to shower, 10 seconds to put on socks. There are 50 beds per dormitory and even going to the bathroom requires permission. Phones, TVs and the internet are all banned, as is seeing family during the first three months.
Who are these young people? How did they get there and what trials and challenges will they have to overcome?

I’d love an update. This is six years old, which means Marisol (sp?) has a seven year old daughter. I’d love to know how she’s doing. Nicholas needs some therapy and as much as I think his mother is motivated by wanting to see her son succeed, I suspect her dry alcoholism has lead her to believe that he should just get whipped into shape and he would be okay. Even with the few interactions we saw, it is pretty clear he’s on the spectrum. I would’ve loved to see Cheyenne turn her life around. I guess it’s all very well blaming the kids by sending them to boot camp, but if nothing changes in the unsheltered real world, they’ll revert to type. Seeing the way she responded to the cop she went out with, it seems apparent that she needs nurturing, not a heavy hand.
I’d like to see how these kids and their relationships with their parents are doing as well. What about these drill sergeants?. Who are they? These institutions are irresponsible as well as insurance scams. It’s child abuse
I like the idea, but mabe it’s to late for the parents to change and the only hope is for the kids to do something different. I know I want my kid to do better than me and I’d like to think they do to but if they can’t teach them better maybe it’s better for someone else to.
Totally Agree but these kids will be parents one day too. Both should go!
I did the this same thing in San Luis Obispo and it was a life changing experience
Boy, this makes US Army Boot Camp look like a walk in the park
I would just sit down and tell them to get stuffed
This is better than regular military training
