At the Lake County Juvenile Justice Center, the clock is ticking for Ricky and Michael. As they approach their 18th birthdays, the safety net of the juvenile system is about to vanish, replaced by the "rats and roaches" of adult prison. This video follows the final, high-stakes hearings for repeat offenders who must prove they are more than their rap sheets. From armed robbery at 14 to dreams of joining the Iron Workers Union, we explore whether the system’s "arsenal of services" is enough to break the cycle of the streets, or if some juveniles are simply destined for a life behind bars.
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.
