, where they were subjected to a harsh daily regime alongside real inmates.

He says: “I’d never go back to my old ways. Hard work pays off and I know that now. I don’t need to steal a bike because I can buy one.” “I’d come to school with different trainers on every day, or go and buy a new tracksuit before school.For three years he successfully hid his criminality from the police as well as from his dad Phil, who thought his son was “a good boy”.

He recalls: “They were like, ‘You think this is funny? I’m going to make you crack’.” It was up to the fierce but dedicated Lieutenant Robbie Stokes to teach the boys discipline and respect to, in his words, “break them down and build them back up again”.Lt Stokes explains: “A lot of these kids come with natural abilities but they’re using them for the wrong thing. This is about tough love.”

Every morning the teens had to take part in military style physical drills and were then put to work in the jail’s kitchen, laundry and on chain gangs on the roads — alongside regular and intimidating inmates.
