Specifically, two corrupt judges in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, were the catalysts for a ring that sent basically innocent children to the centers in return for kickbacks.
The film raises consciousness about this disgraceful social ill while telling a spellbinding story of a high school archery champion who was enmeshed in the system. Lauren fought an abusive boyfriend of one of the members of her archery team. Yet she was sent to the correction facility due to the rigged system and a judge who was running a scam.
The film resembles the classic Paul Newman film "Cool Hand Luke" in the depiction of a correction center out of hell headed by a sadistic director, Bob Patrice, and his boot-licking son Michael. The scenes of the young women abused in an isolated camp were wrenchingly painful to watch.
