Have you ever seen or heard of Beyond Scared Straight?

[smahala1991]

It's a TV show where "wild" teens spend a day in jail, usually for disrespecting parents, smoking weed, and promiscuity. I always wondered why is it always usually Blacks shown as being criminals out of everyone else? Is disrespecting parents and promiscuity actually a crime?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, the program is awesome.

I find it disgusting and abusive.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@msc545 Yeah, it is your right !

[msc545]

Thank you but I know that.

I'm amazed it got the go-ahead from the TV companies and jail authorities. If anything happened, they'd all get sued...

Simples...
