Components of a Scared Straight Program
While each program will have its nuance differences, the general idea is the same: to improve teen behavior as to reduce or eliminate future criminal charges, jail time, or death. A scared straight program might be outlined to look something like the following:- One-on-one sessions with current inmates who can relay stories about what prison is like
- Visiting a local jail
- Placing the teen in a jail cell for a short period of time
- One-on-one or group therapy and counseling sessions
- Educational programs and courses
