For many troubled teenagers, there is no middle ground between a broken home and a prison cell. In this sobering look inside the juvenile justice system, we follow Carlton, a repeat offender facing his harshest sentence yet: a transfer to the Department of Corrections' notorious "Boy School." From the anxiety of the early morning transport to the stark reality of the intake strip-search, we see firsthand what happens when the streets catch up to kids as young as twelve. Alongside Paradize, a 15-year-old girl who cut off her ankle monitor to escape her family struggles, these raw human stories reveal the tragic pipeline from childhood trauma to maximum security confinement—and the desperate struggle to find a way out before "The Big House" claims them forever.

Only Human celebrates and explores the unique and personal qualities we all have.  Our channel offers a range of TV series and documentaries about human experiences and life journeys - while looking at the challenges life throws at us, turning ordinary people into everyday heroes.
