Rock and a Hard Place
Description
An unprecedented and enlightening look inside a youth-prison boot camp, Rock and a Hard Place focuses on the lives of a diverse group of incarcerated young people in Florida, each of whom are granted a second chance: the opportunity to trade an extensive prison sentence for a fresh start by completing the famed Miami-Dade County Corrections & Rehabilitation Department Boot Camp Program. This one-of-a-kind, 16-week program, which resembles military training and includes several challenging phases, reports a recidivism rate of less than 15%, while the national rate of prison recidivism is approximately 70%. Featuring appearances by Dwayne Johnson at the facility as a new "platoon" arrives and at their graduation reception at the end of the camp, the film chronicles a harsh, uncompromising process in which drill sergeants push inmates to their limits, encouraging them to learn from past mistakes and become constructive members of society who are substantially less likely to return to prison.
