In 2008 our cameras captured unprecedented footage inside a maximumsecurity juvenile prison as teens lived their lives behind bars. This video looks back at a prison "cell extraction" as a teen prisoner refused to give guards a broom he has in his cell. Fearful the teen would use the broom as a weapon against himself or staff, the prison assembled an extraction team to remove the teen from his cell and placed him in a time out chair.

Following the filming of this process, the newlyhired prison superintendent changed the climate and culture inside the prison and implemented a new policy to cut down on the use of physical force by staff. A 2024 update on the teen featured in this video is included at the end of the video, along with footage of how the prison implemented the "Care Team" verbal deescalation methods to better deal with future situations involving teens behind bars.
