@therock : 6 months ago I was there when these young offenders (from from armed robbery to attempted murder) were bused in at 3am to a hard core awakening. Told them their lives were about to change. That drill instructors we're going to break them down physically and mentally in ways they never imagined. They fucked up, broke the law and there's a hard price they're gonna pay, but if they stuck with it - didn't quit - then in 6 months they would become changed men. Better men.
Today, not only are they better, but they're officially free. Our "graduating class" have transitioned into real jobs and now they understand real discipline and self respect. The hard work ain't over. In many ways it's just beginning, but today is a great step in the right direction. The recidivism rate in the U.S. prison system is over 70 PERCENT. Meaning over 70% of prisoners released will commit crimes and return back to prison. The recidivism rate for our one of kind Dade County Boot Camp is 9 PERCENT. 9 PERCENT. I wanted the world to see the positive impact this Boot Camp and its committed Drill Instructors have, and just as important I wanted the world to see these youth offenders experience real CHANGE to become better men. I was once one of these kids screwing up and getting arrested, so this documentary is close to me. Can't wait for you to see it. #RockAndAHardPlace #HBO
