All former inmates have a hard time adjusting to life outside prison, but teenagers face their own specific set of challenges after doing time. This two part series shows how that adjustment process often plays out and how its hardships can be minimized. Filmed in large part at the Rikers Island Academy, a GED-level school that has helped turn hundreds of inmates lives around, the series covers the major sources of conflict that young people will encounter when reentering society. Addressing the day to day challenges of newfound, uncertain freedom, these programs illustrate how a support system can be built with the help of family, peers, caseworkers, and even correctional staff. - Technical Details
