Males are eligible for Boot Camp if they are between 14 and 24 years old, have not served time in a Federal or State prison, and have a sentence of 10 years or less. The program runs from 90 to 120 days. Graduates do not return to prison, but are placed on parole. Like basic training in the military, Boot Camp begins with a tough "dressing down" by a sergeant and a haircut. The video then depicts the typical day that begins at 4 a.m. with showering, dressing, cleaning the barracks, and inspection. Physical training follows breakfast. Four platoons engage in 4 hours of hard physical labor and 4 hours of counseling, drill and ceremony training, and obstacle course practice. Instructors emphasizes that the drill and obstacle course activities build a sense of accomplishment, self-confidence, and ability to work as a team. After dinner, inmates time' is devoted to a flag ceremony, cleaning, uniform preparation, and one-half hour of free time. In its first 6 months, 150 young men have gone into Boot Camp; 27 percent have dropped out and returned to correctional institutions.
