Kids Behind Bars Then & Now - Morris's Story and 2023 Update

In this criminal justice documentary first filmed in 2009, teenager Morris is brought into detention after cops find him smoking weed outside of an apartment building. Turns out Morris also had an outstanding bench warrant for not appearing at a previous court hearing. This exclusive documentary shows what life inside is really like for juveniles who are arrested and must spend time in detention, as well as go before a judge to learn their fate. This documentary traces Morris's story from the night cops brought him into detention in handcuffs, to his emotional visit with his mom, to two juvenile court hearings where Morris testifies on the stand. Morris also had to listen to his mom as she testified about his behavior at home and what she thinks is best for Morris.
A 2023 update on Morris's story follows at the end of this video, with an updated interview with his former attorney who talks about what it was like representing Morris at the time, and what happed to Morris years later after his brush with the juvenile justice system, and his time later in life serving time in adult prison.
