Girls Incarcerated: Young and Locked Up

This show is insane! I can not believe these young girls are acting this way! It is like wild animals in a cage! Watching this will make you want to reach in the TV and give some of the girls a strong long hug and let them know they are LOVED and worth more then how they are behaving! I do not understand why they are not punished for how they speak! Their choice of words is just dreadful and should be void. I can not wrap my head around parents who have these children and do not teach them right from wrong! If you can not be a GREAT role model for your child then place them in a loving home.

I'm going to agree with many reviewers that it was very hard to wrap my head around the style of discipline at this facility. The girls have all had very difficult lives and therefore must be treated differently and as individuals. I am sure we are not allowed access to many individual and group canceling sessions, so it's hard to say the facility is doing a bad job, but the girls do seem to get away with a lot of disrespect to the facilitators. The rules seem very lacks and non uniformed depending on the guard and or counselor, but they all do seem concerned for the girls well being. It is very engrossing to watch and you find yourself wanting to reach into the TV and hug the girls and say "you can do this, life dealt you a bad hand, but you got this." I do hope that Netflix' finds a way to not make celebrities out of these girls like TLC has done with the 90 day franchise, as I fear it would compound unresolved issues that are better dealt with in counseling and not on social media. In that regard I'm torn between wanting the show to succeed or not.

Excellent series, exciting and real. You empathize a lot with girls and it makes you see a sad reality. Is admirable how them strive to save forward and change their destiny. Very good!!

This series shows us that you can take control of your destiny and that it is never too late to become a good person. Moreover, this series is really interesting because it allows you to see the lives of teenage girls in a prison, which is rather original unlike other series where there are only adult men generally. This series is especially touching when they find their parents or when she leaves prison. I recommend it

Not as entertaining as jailbirds but with WAY MORE HEART. If every juvenile detention center was ran like this one, the world would be a better place. Seeing how the correction officers really want these girls to change, learn, and succeed in life is amazing. The stories are touching and need to be told. This is where the road to being a criminal begins for most, during the teenage years, and you see how these girls got on this path. It's sad but real and for me I felt compassion and sorry for most of the girls.
