From their website, it looks like the program genuinely works, which is amazing.
"The Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation Department Boot Camp Program has resulted in a consistently low recidivism rate for its graduates - currently at 11 percent. This means that nearly 90 percent of all graduates are able to turn their lives around thanks to the training and mentoring they receive through the Boot Camp program."
As a documentary, nothing special.

Great program with tangible results, apparently
Amazing Documentary!!!
It was quite refreshing to see a positive view of young people who made bad decisions. Contrary to a previous review these kind of programs work when the instructors deal with not only the physical aspects but also the need for a psychological transformation. Teaching anyone how to just obey orders without breaking down and healing the reason they weren't in the first place is bound to fail. Most "boot camps" teach how to obey orders while there then expect the person to change when released. The original disrespect for order is never discussed. I enjoyed this image.
Rock and a Hard Place
Excellent documentary. I am happy to see a program of this nature succeed. Do not let Donald Trump see this. He will want to cut the funding.Hopefully these young men will be able to turn their lives around. I did not know that the Rock was a graduate of this program. It certainly did not do him any harm.
