I think every young Black man growing up has heard the story about staying straight and not to get in trouble. Because we all know the end results could land you in court, fined or worse case in Jail or Prison.

Who hasn't seen the Movie Scared Straight, the behind the scene look at life in prison and all the wrong doings that goes on behind the lockup. It was really heart stopping to see how a life that quick can be shattered.

Imagine how hard it can be on a family, crazy things happen behind the Jail cell, life and death is just a breath away.
