Crime to Career: The Final Week of the Borstal Experiment | Season 1 Episode 4 | Bring Back Borstal

In the final week of the experiment, word reaches the governor that Casey Spence, who left the borstal during week one, is in trouble. With no job and no qualifications, the former drug user's prospects have hit rock bottom. The governor tracks him down in Blackpool -- but can he convince him to return? Back at the borstal, the governor turns his attention to preparing the lads for their life outside. With reoffending rates closely linked to employment, the governor wants to give them the opportunity to get a job and stay out of trouble when they leave. But the boys have other ideas. With the end of the strict regimen in sight, discipline starts to slip: Burniston refuses to take part in rugby, and long-simmering tensions between the Kearneys and Hopwood boil over in the canteen. Will the lads finally fall into line? Or will borstal ultimately fail to set them straight? 📺 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE ▶️ https://bit.ly/WBUnfiltered In the early 1900s, young criminals were sent to youth prisons. At that time, around seven out of 10 of them never committed a crime again. Today, nearly three quarters of young offenders released from prison reoffend within 12 months. What would happen if today's juvenile lawbreakers were sent to such an institution? In this unique experimental series, 13 adolescent troublemakers, most with criminal convictions, volunteer to become "prisoners." Banged up for four weeks, they're force-fed fitness, discipline and hard work. Can the miscreants of today handle the regimen of the past? #WarnerBros #FullEpisode #FreeTV
