Louis Theroux concludes his exploration into Miami Mega-jail, one of America's largest and most violent of jails, a holding pen for almost 6000 un-convicted inmates.
Louis goes deeper into the jail system, meeting an alleged triple murderer facing a possible death sentence. He also follows a group of forty or so younger inmates who have escaped prison by pleading guilty and agreeing to attend a four month military style boot camp. Among them is a 14-year-old boy facing a possible ten year sentence for armed robbery if he can't survive the boot camp's relentless and brutal training and indoctrination programme. Many will drop out and receive prison sentences, but for a handful this will be their second chance at life.

I think they get out on parol until their case is handled. Instead of waiting 5 years in prison he can stay home.
@kakature don't think they get out after 6 months a priori, but rather when they are "ready" or something...
Quite shocking to see a 14 year old being in there, facing a 10year sentence...
So one guy is facing 10 years. But if he stays in boot camp he can get free after 6 months, is that right? Or does he have to join the army after that? Didn't really get it.
"you ask how hard I beat him?" "Enough to make him stop *smile*"
"the gang will get me 100 years or 6 feet, so I gotta get out"
