Miguel and Ricardo. (Part 2)

Description

Filmed inside Indiana's Lake County Juvenile Justice Complex, this documentary is one in a series of programs exploring where juvenile crime begins, how it evolves, and what's at stake for kids, families, and professionals in the system. Featured in this episode (the second of two parts) are the stories of Ricardo Pizano, a troubled teen with few options aside from life on the streets; Michael Shane, a young man facing a robbery charge; and Miguel Colon, a bright 17-year-old who impresses Lake County's staff with his intellect, but frustrates them for his repeat appearances in detention.
