Synopsis:
The state of Missouri has cast aside the familiar model of juvenile jails in favor of a radically different approach therapy and rehabilitation. At the Waverly Regional Youth Center in Waverly, MO, the walls are brightly colored and cell-blocks have been replaced with dorm-rooms. At the Rosa Parks Center in Fulton, MO, kids live in small teams, where they help and support one another. Inmates must get to the root of the problem that started them down their path of crime. Chris Cuomo reports how this unique system is providing an effective and less expensive alternative to America's troubled juvenile justice system
