Inmates Share Hard Truths to Stop Youth Violence
Description
Two inmates—one serving life for murder, the other twenty years for home invasion—are speaking to Baton Rouge youth as part of a Crime Stoppers program designed to scare kids straight with real-life consequences. One inmate, sentenced to die in prison, says he’s never going home; the other sees the kids as mirrors of his own past. With over 500 juvenile arrests last year—including 100 for guns and 8 for murder—and already 200+ arrests this year, officials blame unchecked emotions. The inmates, including a barber planning to mentor kids through his shop, aim to reach just one young person and change their path. It’s about making a difference—one conversation at a time.
