Juvies

Juvies is a legal reality TV series produced by MTV following minors in the Lake County Juvenile Justice Complex, where Indiana teens await the court process for their altercations with the law. Juvies looks at just what happens to kids who have committed relatively minor crimes, such as underage drinking, minor theft, running away, or even marijuana use. Each episode follows two youths as they enter the center until they appear before a judge for the ultimate decision to keep them locked up or released to their parents while their trial is underway. From Steve, a jock caught underage drinking who might lost his football scholarship because he tried to sprint away from the police, to RJ, a druggie who goes on a drug-induced crime spree, Juvies offers its audience an unparalleled experience, with first-time ever admittance to the juvenile court system, which is typically closed. The series itself does not follow the juveniles to their trials and ultimate charges but does offer an epilogue with the outcome of each case. MORE
