On November 20th at 10 pm EST, MSNBC will premiere “Young Kids, Hard Time,” a one-hour documentary that throws back the veil on the reality of young kids serving long sentences in adult prisons.
“Young Kids, Hard Time” reveals what life is like for young kids staring down decades behind bars. Calamari Productions was granted sweeping access inside the maxiumum security Wabash Valley Correctinal Facility in Carlisle, Indiana – the only adult prison in the state of Indiana that houses kids sentenced as adults. The film delves into the everyday struggles encountered by these 53 kids on the Youth Incarcerated As Adults cellblock (YIA).
