scared straight

One of the most impactful stories is about a girl who was shoplifting. She was made to visit a prison as part of a scared straight program. There, she met a female inmate who had also started with shoplifting but ended up in prison for a long time due to a series of bad choices. This made the girl stop shoplifting right away.

Big Dragon Beyond Scared Straight tells a tale of redemption and transformation. It focuses on characters facing their fears and making positive changes in their lives.

Sure. There was a kid who was constantly getting into trouble at school, stealing small things from classmates. He was sent to a scared straight program. There, he saw inmates talk about how their small crimes led to big prison sentences. It scared him so much that he completely changed his behavior at school and became an honest student.

One inspiring story is of a boy who was headed towards a life of burglary. After the program, he saw the inmates' living conditions and the lack of freedom. He was so moved that he started learning skills like carpentry at a local community center. He is now working as an apprentice in a furniture - making workshop. Another great story is about a girl who was into underage drinking and partying all night. The program showed her the real consequences of such behavior. She now promotes healthy lifestyle choices among her peers.

Another important element is the personal stories from inmates. In many success stories, inmates share their own tales of regret, how they lost their families and opportunities because of crime. This makes the participants in the scared straight program think twice about their actions. Also, the follow - up support after the initial exposure is crucial. Some programs offer counseling or mentoring to ensure that the change in behavior is sustained. Without that, the initial shock might wear off, and they could fall back into old habits.

There was a group of young offenders in a particular city. They were involved in petty crimes like stealing and vandalism. The scared straight program took them to a maximum - security prison. There, they interacted with inmates who told them about the regrets they had in life because of their criminal actions. This really hit home for these young people. Many of them went on to join community service programs and stay away from crime. They realized that a life of crime only leads to a dead - end and that they had better options.

One interesting 'Harry Potter Scared Straight' fanfiction could be one where Harry is sent to a wizarding reform school after getting into trouble at Hogwarts. In this fanfic, he meets characters who have really gone off the rails and they tell him their horror stories to scare him into being a better wizard. It might show how he has to face his own dark tendencies and overcome them.

Not sure exactly, but perhaps it involves a character's journey of finding courage and breaking free from being constantly scared. That's just a guess though.

Naruto is a must - have main character. But I think Shikamaru could also be a main character. His laid - back yet intelligent nature could be interesting to explore in this type of fanfiction. Maybe Sakura too, as she has grown from a somewhat naive girl to a strong kunoichi and could have her own take on the 'scared straight' experience. Plus, there could be some new characters introduced specifically for this fanfiction, like a tough instructor in the 'scared straight' program.

One possible plot could be that Naruto and his friends are sent to a 'scared straight' type of program in the Hidden Leaf Village. They are shown the harsh realities of what could happen if they continue on a wrong path, like if they were to give in to the temptations of the dark side of ninja skills. This experience makes them more determined to uphold the values of their village.
