Bad Boys
This experimental video documentary uncompromisingly delves into the complex problems of juvenile crime in America. It is an inside look at the way society treats its troublesome and violent youth as documented in three public institutions:
• High school — Bryant High School in Long Island City
• Detention center — Spofford Juvenile Center, New York City
• Maximum-security prison — Brookwood Center, Claverack, NY
