When i was in there, i saw so many guys come out after a phone call and start crying from whatever news they got. These guys im talking about, here are a few examples, one of my buddies has 23 assault charges, another was just a straight BAMF, one of the most feared guys in there, and once you find out your going to Dayone, or Mainstay for a year, or some other placement, it sux. Or that your court date has been postponed, or that you need to stay in lockup for another 3 weeks so i pych evaluation can be done, or because of a brawl you were in at the mess hall caused you to get commited until your 21. Guys there get phone calls like that everyday, and for a facility full of maines worst juvenile criminals, theres alot of hidden emotions all of over the place.
I think the producer of this piece makes Long Creek Corrections seem a little bit too much like a boys camp rather than a prison. I did 66 days there, I know it's not much compared to the committed guys and girls there. But if you have ever been locked up and not knowing when you are getting out, you would understand. It's a descent piece, but it could be a little longer and more detailed to the everyday life as someone locked up in LC.
