BOOT CAMP

 

 

 

In 2005 more than 10,000 teens were incarcerated in boot camps, most of them against their will.

 

In the middle of the night, 15-year-old Garrett is “kidnapped” and transported to a boot camp where he is subjected to physical and psychological abuse. The aim? To get him to conform to the camp’s standards. But how can he change if he shouldn’t have been sent there in the first place?
