Summary

TLDR报道称佛罗里达州最后一个军事训练营，通过对涉及犯罪的年轻人在集训营中的历程与变化进行记录，探讨是否能通过严苛的集训来实现对他们的改造。这些年轻人有的因持械抢劫，有的涉及其它犯罪行为，而集训营给了他们一个不必入狱的机会。在四个月的跟踪报道中，记者记录了学员在严苛的军训下经历的挑战与心灵变化。在军事教官的严格管理和指导下，学员逐渐意识到纪律和后果的重要性。尽管这种集训模式曾引发过争议，例如曾导致青少年在训练中死亡的事件，但仍有成功案例，如成功完成集训并成为一名执业律师的Jason Bravo，表明此类集训营在某种程度上达到了正面的教育和改造效果。此节目的对象是探讨这种体制对于年轻人再教育的成效及其在社会上的意义。

    failed to finish High School six of the
  • 00:03:11
    cadets were homeless and living on the
  • 00:03:12
    streets the key in boot camp is
  • 00:03:15
    discipline and the realization that
  • 00:03:17
    there are consequences for screwing up
  • 00:03:19
    no matter how small the screw up might
  • 00:03:21

  • 00:04:30
    thing she said was to keep my head on
  • 00:04:32
    straight and she wrote me a letter the
  • 00:04:34
    other day that said to keep my head
  • 00:04:35
    forward because I have a hot head she
  • 00:04:37
    knows I have bu welcome to freaking
  • 00:04:39
    Miami g county freaking boot camp
  • 00:04:40
    Sergeant William Das helped launch the
  • 00:04:42
    County's boot camp program back in
  • 00:04:45
    1995 since then more than a thousand
  • 00:04:47
    Cadets have completed the program the
  • 00:04:49
    program is here for you it's not for us
  • 00:04:51
    all we want is your freaking best do you
  • 00:04:54
    understand me sir yes sir I'm a big fan
  • 00:04:56
    of boot camp tell me why um in part
  • 00:04:58
    because I think it's it's it is probably
  • 00:05:01
    the only program we have that is
  • 00:05:04
    rehabilitative in nature for adults
  • 00:05:09
    first of all for young adults it is it's
  • 00:05:11
    the only program we have that's not
  • 00:05:12
    prison Miami D circuit court judge Nan
  • 00:05:15
    safy oversees the Criminal Division of
  • 00:05:17
    the courthouse and knows she isn't
  • 00:05:19
    sending choir boys into the program some
  • 00:05:21
    of these folks have been convicted of
  • 00:05:23
    some really bad things I mean I would
  • 00:05:25
    say by and large it's pretty serious
  • 00:05:27
    offenses I would say most of the people
  • 00:05:28
    that I have sent to Camp were pretty
  • 00:05:30
    serious offenses you know there's a lot
  • 00:05:32
    of I mean you know the general sentiment
  • 00:05:34
    in the public if you ask the public you
  • 00:05:36
    know what should happen to somebody who
  • 00:05:38
    commits an armed robbery or a carjacking
  • 00:05:40
    or any of these things they say throw
  • 00:05:41
    them away throw them in prison I think
  • 00:05:43
    that that's people's initial reaction
  • 00:05:45
    but what I would tell you is that I've
  • 00:05:46
    had many cases where um I thought it was
  • 00:05:49
    my responsibility to make sure that the
  • 00:05:50
    people involved in the case knew what I
  • 00:05:52
    was about to do so the prosecutors would
  • 00:05:54
    bring the victims on these cases into
  • 00:05:56
    court and I did that on multiple
  • 00:05:58
    occasions and the one person that
  • 00:05:59
    disagreed with me said to me judge safy
  • 00:06:02
    I don't agree with you but I agree with
  • 00:06:04
    what you're trying to do so um what is
  • 00:06:06
    it that we're trying to do we're trying
  • 00:06:07
    to
  • 00:06:09
    ultimately create a a person that's
  • 00:06:12
    going to be a functioning member of
  • 00:06:14
    society and not create a person who's
  • 00:06:16
    going to come out of prison and be a
  • 00:06:18
    bigger batter better Criminal according
  • 00:06:20
    to judge safy for many of these young
  • 00:06:22
    criminals boot camp may be their last
  • 00:06:23
    opportunity to learn right from wrong
  • 00:06:26
    what they tell you in boot camp is that
  • 00:06:27
    they basically strip the kid down to
  • 00:06:29
    they strip the person down to to Bare
  • 00:06:31
    Bones and they build them back up and
  • 00:06:32
    they're they're part of a team they're
  • 00:06:34
    part of a
  • 00:06:36
    platoon and they're definitely taught
  • 00:06:39
    consequences which I think is huge
  • 00:06:41
    they're they're taught to really believe
  • 00:06:43
    in themselves and all it is is about
  • 00:06:44
    giving the kid a chance ultimately if
  • 00:06:46
    the if the cadet fails prison is waiting
  • 00:06:50
    prison the bus is waiting their Prison
  • 00:06:52
    number is waiting from the moment they
  • 00:06:53
    arrive they are told there is a right
  • 00:06:55
    way to do something and a wrong way they
  • 00:06:57
    teach them how to stand how to feet how
  • 00:07:00
    to hold their canteens they teach them
  • 00:07:02
    how to sit I'm not taking my littley
  • 00:07:05
    time I'm not do I'm not taking my time
  • 00:07:07
    all to se dirty whatever I'm sitting
  • 00:07:08
    down like a rock you understand they
  • 00:07:11
    even show them the right way to lower
  • 00:07:13
    their head in prayer ready ready ready
  • 00:07:17
    PR and if they mess up they'll all be
  • 00:07:20
    smoked smoking them is when they have
  • 00:07:24
    done something incorrectly and we get
  • 00:07:27
    them to do whatever the excise exercises
  • 00:07:30
    that we as them to do if you move and I
  • 00:07:32
    don't give you permission you will pay I
  • 00:07:34
    if he messes up you will all pay I if he
  • 00:07:38
    doesn't sound off you will all PID out
  • 00:07:39
    of the corner of her eye she catches one
  • 00:07:41
    of the cadetes scratching his face when
  • 00:07:43
    I tell you stop freaking moving stop
  • 00:07:46
    moving but using exercise's punishment
  • 00:07:48
    has proved dangerous let's go let's go
  • 00:07:51
    get it going let's
  • 00:07:54
    go in 2006 14-year-old Martin Lee
  • 00:07:58
    Anderson died in a City Boot Camp
  • 00:08:00
    Anderson who suffered from asthma was
  • 00:08:03
    unable to run as guards ordered videos
  • 00:08:05
    showed the guards punishing him by
  • 00:08:07
    taking him to the ground and forcing him
  • 00:08:09
    to breathe in ammonia the public outcry
  • 00:08:11
    marked a turning point for boot camps as
  • 00:08:13
    a result the legislature closed all five
  • 00:08:16
    of its camps across the state and in
  • 00:08:18
    2007 the Broward Sheriff closed its boot
  • 00:08:21
    camp program to save money miam me D's
  • 00:08:23
    program is the last in the state and
  • 00:08:25
    with an annual budget of $3.5 million it
  • 00:08:28
    too faces a carious future mayor Carl s
  • 00:08:31
    menz proposed closing the program this
  • 00:08:33
    year to save tax dollars but came up
  • 00:08:35
    with the money under pressure at the
  • 00:08:36
    last minute to save it for now boot
  • 00:08:39
    camps are an inherent gamble the safe
  • 00:08:41
    bet would be to send these offenders to
  • 00:08:43
    State Prison where cost just
  • 00:08:46
    $47.50 a day to house and feed them but
  • 00:08:49
    this is a long-term bet you might even
  • 00:08:51
    call it an investment an investment in
  • 00:08:54
    all our names take Justin Martinez a
  • 00:08:57
    5-year prison term would cost tax payers
  • 00:09:00
    $86,900 the 16-month boot camp just
  • 00:09:05
    46,4 53 more important than the money
  • 00:09:09
    though is the hope that the program will
  • 00:09:11
    keep Cadets from committing new offenses
  • 00:09:13
    the recidivism rate in prison is 27%
  • 00:09:17
    within the boot camp it's just 11% in
  • 00:09:20
    boot camp they are required to attend
  • 00:09:22
    classes and most war in a GED while here
  • 00:09:25
    those who already have a high school
  • 00:09:26
    diploma receive job training hey
  • 00:09:31
    but the cadets of platoon 14-1 are still
  • 00:09:34
    a long way from success when we come
  • 00:09:36
    back which Cadets will make it and who
  • 00:09:39
    will wash
  • 00:09:44
    [Music]
  • 00:09:51
    out two weeks into boot camp and the
  • 00:09:53
    cadets of class 141 are proving to be
  • 00:09:56
    more difficult than the instructors had
  • 00:09:58
    hoped
  • 00:10:01
    every time she act crazy you going to
  • 00:10:03
    pay for it talking to you little mama
  • 00:10:05
    the drill instructors have them so
  • 00:10:07

  • 00:10:09

  • 00:10:30
    Commander is Lieutenant Rose green I've
  • 00:10:32
    watched the progression it's very slow
  • 00:10:34
    at this point and I I still see that
  • 00:10:37
    they're very raw on this day in January
  • 00:10:39
    there was a stark reminder of what's at
  • 00:10:40
    stake and why getting them to succeed is
  • 00:10:43
    so important to De M St Flo green had
  • 00:10:47
    just learned a Cadet who completed the
  • 00:10:48
    program in December was shot and killed
  • 00:10:51
    in front of his house Mackenzie St FL um
  • 00:10:54
    17 years old we released him December
  • 00:10:57
    19th I believe he went back to the same
  • 00:10:59
    home that he came from so if that's the
  • 00:11:01
    case he he went back to the very streets
  • 00:11:04
    that he came from unfortunately well
  • 00:11:06
    there there not a lot of options

  • 00:11:30
    and my daughter's three the most

    important thing he said he can do is
  • 00:11:33
    provide a better example for his kids as
  • 00:11:36
    they grow up I never knew how to work
  • 00:11:38
    for anything and if I when I did work I
  • 00:11:40
    never appreciate working I could have
  • 00:11:42
    gave back to my mother and my kids but
  • 00:11:44
    instead I spent it on myself 16-year-old
  • 00:11:46
    or Rojo is already the father of a boy
  • 00:11:48
    and a girl and Flora is a three-year-old

    mom is a Time M so when I talk to him he
  • 00:12:02

    and and I get pictures of him too I have
  • 00:12:14

    now like it's crazy I had to go through
  • 00:12:25

  • 00:12:30
    family

  • 00:12:59
    recycle he was in the program last year
  • 00:13:02
    but ran into trouble and quit he then
  • 00:13:04
    pleaded to the judge to let him try
  • 00:13:05
    again now he's back and the drill
  • 00:13:08
    instructors are all over I know how you
  • 00:13:11
    that you me son the charge that landed
  • 00:13:14
    him here in boot camp armed robbery my
  • 00:13:17
    girlfriend was pregnant I was under a
  • 00:13:19
    lot of pressure and I made a stupid
  • 00:13:21
    decision and I robbed a jewelry store
  • 00:13:23
    anything you think I don't remember
  • 00:13:25
    you I'm talking to
  • 00:13:28
    you you know what son you better get new
  • 00:13:30
    this your second time around right you
  • 00:13:33
    need to get right you understand me
  • 00:13:35
    don't be a freaking statistic do you
  • 00:13:36
    understand me nearly two months have now
  • 00:13:38
    passed and the cadets are starting to
  • 00:13:40
    show some signs of improvement they seem
  • 00:13:42
    to be getting it for me to be able to
  • 00:13:44
    contain my anger and contain my
  • 00:13:46
    self-control in this place as long as
  • 00:13:48
    I've did shows a lot about what these
  • 00:13:49
    people do here and you know they talk to
  • 00:13:52
    us yeah they yell at us but nobody sees
  • 00:13:54
    the the behind the scenes act when they
  • 00:13:56
    talk to us and give us words of
  • 00:13:57
    encouragement for some the drill
  • 00:13:59
    instructors transition from guards to
  • 00:14:01
    the parents they never had they they
  • 00:14:02
    beat on us but I realized the difference
  • 00:14:04
    between picking on me and trying to help
  • 00:14:06
    me one person who failed to make that
  • 00:14:09
    connection was Andino the cadet had
  • 00:14:11
    finally run out of Second
  • 00:14:14
    Chances Mr adino um refuse you honor to
  • 00:14:19
    comply with the instructions
  • 00:14:21
    and orders for the program not even
  • 00:14:24
    halfway through the program Andino has
  • 00:14:26
    had enough after refusing orders and
  • 00:14:29
    threatening staff the drill instructors
  • 00:14:31
    decided it was time for him to get on
  • 00:14:32
    that bus for state prison on this day
  • 00:14:35
    they were updating the judge that
  • 00:14:37
    granted him boot camp your client is
  • 00:14:39
    potentially facing some very serious
  • 00:14:42
    consequences flunking out of boot camp
  • 00:14:44
    many he would have to serve the
  • 00:14:45
    remainder of a six-year sentence in
  • 00:14:47
    state prison we caught up to him a
  • 00:14:49
    couple weeks later inside the jail where
  • 00:14:51
    he was waiting to be transferred to
  • 00:14:52
    State custody once you got out of boot
  • 00:14:55
    camp and once they brought you here yeah
  • 00:14:57
    I felt stupid you realiz you
  • 00:15:00
    made I felt stupid because you know I
  • 00:15:03
    know what I traded out I traded out some
  • 00:15:04
    months for some
  • 00:15:06
    years and Dino said he couldn't handle
  • 00:15:08
    being disrespected by the drill
  • 00:15:09
    instructors and forced to endure some of
  • 00:15:11
    the physical punishments like crawling
  • 00:15:13
    through the
  • 00:15:14
    pit go at the moment is like my mind's
  • 00:15:17
    just I want to escape I want to get out
  • 00:15:19
    of here I want to get out of here I want
  • 00:15:20
    to get out of here and when I had the
  • 00:15:23
    time to sit there and I'm they brought
  • 00:15:25
    me back to the jail and I had the time
  • 00:15:26
    to sit there and really think about it I
  • 00:15:28
    felt stupid cuz I you
  • 00:15:32
    know I gave it all up I gave my freedom
  • 00:15:35
    up I I let a lot of people
  • 00:15:37
    down you know what I mean for just for
  • 00:15:43
    [Music]
  • 00:15:52
    nothing if Andino represents the failure
  • 00:15:55
    of the boot camp system former Cadet
  • 00:15:57
    Jason Bravo is one of the Seasons the
  • 00:15:59
    instructors have hope if I wanted to do
  • 00:16:01
    something I'd just do it and and looking
  • 00:16:03
    back on it all I did was everything I
  • 00:16:05
    did was self-destructive few people
  • 00:16:08
    understand where these Cadets are coming
  • 00:16:09
    from better than Jason bravo bravo was
  • 00:16:12
    17 when he was arrested for armed
  • 00:16:13
    robbery and assault he was facing a
  • 00:16:15
    15-year prison sentence when the judge
  • 00:16:18
    offered him a chance at boot camp that
  • 00:16:20
    was in
  • 00:16:21
    1998 this was my b top uh bottom bottom
  • 00:16:25
    this was my bunk right here I left the
  • 00:16:27
    line up this this is where uh we'd eat
  • 00:16:31
    Chow three times a day
  • 00:16:36
    um lot of lot of good memories here are
  • 00:16:38
    there really yeah I mean looking back at
  • 00:16:41
    it it it was only for the best at least
  • 00:16:44
    for me and and like I said I made uh
  • 00:16:47
    real friends here with the officers
  • 00:16:49
    particularly they they took a vested
  • 00:16:51
    interest in those who really took their
  • 00:16:53
    recovery seriously it's a discipline
  • 00:16:55
    right it's that idea of of you got to do
  • 00:16:58
    what you got to do it's it's it's more
  • 00:17:01
    than that it's the discipline but it's
  • 00:17:03
    also a level of respect that you earn
  • 00:17:06
    from them and then once they get once
  • 00:17:08
    you earn that respect they treat you
  • 00:17:10
    like a human being and then you
  • 00:17:12
    understand why they're doing it then you
  • 00:17:13
    see that their motives and their
  • 00:17:15
    intentions are are good and it only then
  • 00:17:18
    you worry about disappointing them or
  • 00:17:20
    you want to uh earn their approval the
  • 00:17:23
    jural instructors not only helped him
  • 00:17:24
    get through the program but the staff
  • 00:17:26
    wrote letters of recommendation to get
  • 00:17:27
    him into college and then law school
  • 00:17:29
    after Bravo passed his bar exam in 2008
  • 00:17:32
    the Florida bar held up his license
  • 00:17:35
    because of his prior felony arrest but
  • 00:17:37
    once again it was the drill instructors
  • 00:17:38
    who came through vouching for his
  • 00:17:40
    character now at 33 he's been practicing
  • 00:17:43
    law for 4 years and he's paying it back
  • 00:17:46
    by talking to the cadets there's nothing
  • 00:17:48
    that I accomplished before my life I
  • 00:17:51
    accomplished nothing before I came to
  • 00:17:53
    boot camp probably the first thing that
  • 00:17:55
    I did in my life that was worth
  • 00:17:57
    mentioning in a positive way was
  • 00:18:00
    graduating from boot camp the when we
  • 00:18:04
    return the big day for these Cadets has
  • 00:18:07
    finally
  • 00:18:11
    [Music]
  • 00:18:16
    [Music]
  • 00:18:27
    arrived by may just three boot camp
  • 00:18:30
    Cadets from Platoon 141 had washed out
  • 00:18:33
    of phase one that left 35 headed toward
  • 00:18:36
    graduation hours before the ceremony
  • 00:18:38
    Justin Martinez's thoughts turned to his
  • 00:18:41
    family yeah I'm hoping that that that
  • 00:18:43
    the the accomplishment that I may here
  • 00:18:45
    proves myself worthy to them prove
  • 00:18:47
    myself worthy to them and myself because
  • 00:18:49
    um that's my main goal trying to trying
  • 00:18:52
    to please myself but also show my family
  • 00:18:54
    that I am something other than what they
  • 00:18:56
    always lab me as a nobody his drill
  • 00:18:58
    instructors say he's made an amazing
  • 00:19:00
    turnaround during the 4 months he's been
  • 00:19:03
    in boot camp everyone thinks it's easy
  • 00:19:04
    while you're in here because they're on
  • 00:19:06
    you they're yelling at you they're
  • 00:19:08
    telling you what to do the question is 6
  • 00:19:11
    n months from now when you're out of
  • 00:19:13
    here yeah what's going to be different
  • 00:19:15
    that's the test this right here like you
  • 00:19:16
    said is the easy part you got somebody
  • 00:19:18
    always over your head it's it's it's not
  • 00:19:21
    so difficult to fight temptation but
  • 00:19:23
    when you get in the streets you have
  • 00:19:24
    nobody to to stop that Temptation from
  • 00:19:26
    hitting you and if you don't have the
  • 00:19:28
    the quality of that they teach you here
  • 00:19:30
    and you keep it up when you're on the
  • 00:19:31
    outside you going to fall regardless
  • 00:19:32
    Jennifer Flores had a harder time in
  • 00:19:34
    boot camp she admits she didn't think
  • 00:19:36
    she would make it to graduation when you
  • 00:19:38
    come here they put you down and you just
  • 00:19:40
    feel like you ain't going to be able to
  • 00:19:42
    do it it's so hard but it's like now
  • 00:19:45
    it's the end like you finally see the
  • 00:19:47
    light a week earlier one of flores's
  • 00:19:49
    best friends 19-year-old Viva karea was
  • 00:19:51
    shot to death standing in front of a
  • 00:19:53
    house in Little Havana I know she wasn't
  • 00:19:55
    around guns or anything like that cuz
  • 00:19:57
    she's not that type but I know she was
  • 00:19:58
    around with guys that probably had guns
  • 00:20:01
    after learning about the shooting Flora
  • 00:20:02
    started acting out refusing orders
  • 00:20:05
    rather than coddling her because her
  • 00:20:07
    friend had died the instructors went at
  • 00:20:08
    Flores harder telling her everyone has
  • 00:20:11
    to deal with horrible events on the
  • 00:20:12
    outside the world isn't fair but that
  • 00:20:15
    doesn't give them permission to screw up
  • 00:20:17
    it happened to her but it could have
  • 00:20:19
    been
  • 00:20:23
    me as platoon 14-1 marches onto the
  • 00:20:26
    field friends and family members trained
  • 00:20:28
    to get a look it's the first time in
  • 00:20:30
    months they've seen their loved ones and
  • 00:20:33
    the ceremony lasts an hour with pledges
  • 00:20:35
    and prayers and speeches and then one at
  • 00:20:37

  • 00:20:53
    restored our confidence and our will to
  • 00:20:54
    fight for what we believe in but all of
  • 00:20:56
    it is Prelude to that moment when their
