Ep 14. Fulton County, GA

In the 14th episode of the fourth season of Beyond Scared Straight, viewers are taken inside the Fulton County Jail in Georgia. The episode features a group of troubled teens who have found themselves on the wrong side of the law and are now facing the harsh realities of life behind bars.

The episode kicks off with the teens being introduced to a group of inmates who are currently serving time in Fulton County Jail. The inmates do not hold back and intimidate the teens with explicit language and graphic stories about their life in prison. The inmates go on to explain how their choices ultimately led them to where they are now and how they regret not making better choices during their youth.

The teens are then led on a tour of the facility, visiting areas like the intake room, the holding cells, and the general population housing units. The facility is absolutely massive and the sight of so many inmates in one place is incredibly overwhelming for the teens.

Throughout the tour, the inmates continue to hammer home the message that the choices these teens are making now could lead them to a similar fate. They plead with them to get their lives on track before it is too late.

One of the more impactful scenes in the episode comes when the teens are introduced to a group of inmates who are serving time for violent crimes. The teens are forced to sit face-to-face with these inmates as they listen to graphic and disturbing details about their past actions. The inmates talk about how little they valued life and how their actions have led to a life behind bars. The scene is incredibly emotional and leaves a lasting impact on both the teens and the viewers.

The episode also features a segment on the infamous "dorm" section of the facility. This area is where inmates who have been deemed too dangerous for general population are held. The teens are shocked by the level of security in this area and the stories of violence that occur within the dorms.

As with all episodes of Beyond Scared Straight, there are a few teens who refuse to take the program seriously. However, for the most part, the teens are visibly affected by their experience in the jail. They are shown teary-eyed and emotional as they process what they have just witnessed.

The episode ends with the teens being given time to reflect on their experience. Many of them express their gratitude for the opportunity to see what life is really like behind bars and vow to change their ways. The episode serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of poor choices and sends a strong message to youth everywhere about the importance of making responsible decisions and avoiding a life of crime.
