[QUOTE="DDD, post: 400873, member: 35"] I vividly remember watching Scared Straight. Have no idea how many years ago that was but I remember. It made me very uncomfortable. Although I don't see anyway that it would positively reenforce criminal behaviors I have never read any followup reports that it altered the course of life for the teens on the show. Furthermore on the original program there were teens who had very limited histories of criminal behavior. It was, to me, overkill. It also seemed to be a major violation of the teenagers privacy. In answer to your question I will not watch this new program. Sitting on the sofa with a glass of tea watching teens get humiliated and intimidated would probably make me barf. DDD [/QUOTE]
