• When Young Kids Do Har...
When Young Kids Do Hard Time is a fully produced prison documentary featuring the stories of young kids sentenced to adult prison. Elsewhere on our channel viewers have seen interviews with brothers Blade and Bennie Reed. What people haven't seen is the fully produced documentary on their story, along with a few others featured in this film, When Young Kids Do Hard Time. Throughout the film, viewers get a look at what life is like for young kids who have been sentenced to the adult prison system. In the prison featured in this documentary, Wabash Valley Correctional Facility, all youth under the age of 18 are housed in the Youth Incarcerated as Adults cellblock (YIA). But once a youth turns 18, they are immediately transferred to the adult prison population, either at Wabash or one of the state's other adult prisons.
Stories also include kids who are serving time in the adult prison Segregation cellblock after getting in fights in the YIA cellblock, and interviews with adult prisoners who are serving life sentences who talk about what's still ahead for kids who are staring down decades behind bars.
Note; Blade and Bennie Reed are still incarcerated. Blade was charged with possession of a dangerous device/material which added 2 additional years to his sentence. His projected release date is 2027. Bennie's released date is currently set for 2037.
Adam Contreras was returned to court authority upon release in 2020.
Demonae Lewis was released from prison but rearrested and sentenced to 50 years in prison in 2018 for attempted murder and unlawful firearm possession by a serious felon. His projected release date is 2063.

I was sentenced to 49yrs to life when I was 17. I did 24yrs in adult prison in California. I got out July 2021. Prison changes you., you either learn or get worse. But I do believe most kids that go to prison and spend decades behind them walls are much more mature mentally then your average prisoner. I’m enjoying my life, I love my freedom and enjoy the simple things in life.
Stay positive! Glad you're out and doing well:)
Welcome home brother 🙏
Glad you’re doing well , would love to hear more of you’re story
10 yrs at this place ....suoermax to 4 side back and forth young n wild u already kmow..ya change is real I do real good now ....u have to want it
The system is disproportionately punitive. A 17 year old needs support and guidance, not a 50 year sentence. Anyway, good luck for the future.
Every kid needs a positive And responsible adult in their life
That's not what the party in power thru cheating in this country thinks
Him taking accountability for his actions shows he’s grown as a person.
p
Exactly take responsibility for your actions. Thx for truthfulness boy
The brothers are genuinely not bad people
Mischievous at best & slow
Going to rob beer & end up killing someone in a panic
Damn shame
homies hairline got completely pushed all the way back 6:45
I almost felt sorry for the brothers.. until I found out they killed an 87 year old man and slit his wife's throat. They went into someone's home, armed with a gun. I can't sympathize with that. A tough childhood does not warrant murder.
yeah feel bad for the kid tho he was 13 at the time
@@krookedworld oof.. thats touchy. I'd like to think at 13 you know what you're doing. But then again. Only 13... shits sad
I had a tough upbringing and I would like to say I turned out an incredibly empathetic caring person who now works in a Carehome. I’ve never felt the need to do any crimes, it’s their choice they did that and because of that, they pay the consequences
34:30 are they smirking about what they did?
10 year developmentally is plenty old enough to know right from wrong. The youngest in my family at the moment is 2, the next is 7 and a few months. The next is almost 8, if I asked them what would happen if someone ‘cut’ someone’s neck like he did, they would say without having to think “they will di*” I’ve taught thousands of children who have had some awful lives, they still knew right from wrong. In schools children walk around with scissors held safely, they don’t walk around with the blades pointing out. Children know sharp things cause harm.
I was in Johnson county juvenile with the younger brother him and his brother think it's cool what they did for whoever reads this just know that the entire E POD gave him an extremely awful time while he was with us till they moved him to another pod I hope he gets the same or worse in Wabash
Good work on your documentary
@triplezero 14 Thank you! Appreciate your viewership!
How sad that the older brother allowed his younger brother to commit such a horrible crime, cutting the throat of an 84 yr old woman while he shot her husband.
I guess there are two different aspects to prison punishment: One is to punish the offender, the second is to keep society safe from them. And I am sorry to say that I would not want murderers near me or my family and friends. 🤔
We live in a sick world
"Got locked up when I was 10 got out when I was 11.. never got locked up again until I was 13"..
Wtf🙄🙄
U should not of been a little brat then
In Bolivia?
I don’t know about you but I do be watching documentaries while I work just because they calm me down plus I get to learn from other people mistakes, plus I find it interesting to see another perspective of how hard life can be and how blessed I am to have my family and was raised in a better environment that most of these kids.
God bless these young boys , something tragic had to have happened to them to magi fessed all this hate and anger in them , I pray they get the best help .❤️🙏🇨🇦
Good documentary ! Are there going to be anymore updates on Justin ?
The way he called her granny and she said I wish you all the best luck in the world wow that broke me
What's sad is that these kids aren't stupid. They are well spoken, and they have decent heads on their shoulders, at the very least. At the end of the day, it all comes down to who you surround yourself with. They are young enough to understand the impact that these choices will have on their life long-term, thankfully. I hope they learn from their actions and return to society as changed individuals.
Man did you don't understand there life is over if ? If? They get out one will be 70 another almost 50 years old with class a aggravated felony on their record. that mean very limited chance to get job rent a house etc .
@@didrivekopel2511end of a life imprisoned behind bars

Have you ever did one with juveniles and Angola penitentiary in Louisiana
These documentaries are fantastic! Very well done! My heart aches for Blade! I would love to listen to his story more!
@wisconsinwendi Z - Thanks for your nice words about our documentaries! Grateful for your viewership. We hope to reinterview Blade sometime in the future. The changes over the years are pretty dramatic. It’s a sad, sad case for everyone involved.
Semper Fi brother.
I had a really rough childhood and life isn't easier as an adult want to be friends?
The 84 year old man was my great uncle
I don't feel sorry for Blade at all. Take him out of the gene pool.
God I just pray for all the young children in these type of facilities
It breaks my heart for these kids and the families.🙏🙏
It’s there fault
does your heart break for their victims?
Is this new content?
When was it recorded?
Am hooked already
@d d - This is from our archive, but if you read the description section of the video, you'll see updates on all the kids featured at the bottom of the description. Thanks for being here with us!!
@@CalamariProductions Bennie is scheduled to be released in 2037?
His was reduced?
@@tp8615 He received a 60 year sentence in 2009. Due to Indiana’s sentencing code, you can earn one day credit for one day served. For most felonies, you can earn one day credit for 3 days served, which means you could be released after serving 75 percent of your time. Hope this helps explain a bit better.
Wow he failed his little brother in the WORST way😞 how you tell a child to cut someone’s throat?
U should see colt now. He’s got a Instagram and TH-cam page. He’s fucking jacked. Like Arnold jacked💪🏻
Apparently just like that. They honestly should not be allowed to see each other. They both got life sentences for good reason
@@peytonbrandon6318 really he’s out?? what’s his insta?
@@bubbles4096 lundyxtreme
Yes he did I don't think he would have got in trouble if his brother didn't tell him to do it .They did wrong it was awful what they did . It's 2022 kids keep getting worse .😓
I know we all have choices & repercussions but man...
Blades story hits my heart.
Why? Do you relate to a killer?
@@SullysSmoking She's trash like the criminals. She's the kind of women who raise these criminals.
Raped and abandoned as a baby..
Mentally slow..
The maturity of a sub 10 year old..
Followed his big brother at 13 to get beer & was drunk...
Good & in better circumstances kind natured..
I've been working with every level of troubled young man there is, and this kid does not belong in prison. I would bet 100% of my experience he should be in psychiatric for a stint then put in a structured work release program
Your instincts are good
That was cool of her to say they arent to be judges etc thumbs up to her
So sad, my brother was locked up at thirteen and was transferred to adult prison when he turned old enough, where he spent another few years. He got out a couple times but his freedom didn't last forever. He went on the run and was facing over 15 years. Well they found him overdosed a couple weeks ago.. I just feel like a lot of these kids never really had a chance
@Insightful Entertainment - wow, that is such a sad, sad story. So sorry to hear about your brother. Being locked up at 13 is, in itself, a terrible policy. Kids at that age are far too young to be thrown into that world and be expected to emerge better off. Research proves it. We firmly believe there are much more effective ways to treat kids who have committed offenses than simply throwing them behind bars. We've also learned a lot from the family members of crime victims, many of whom advocate for a different approach when it comes to juvenile subjects. Really appreciate you taking the time to post such a personal comment. It's only by sharing stories like this that people begin to understand the depths of these issues.
@@CalamariProductions thank you
So sorry to hear that!
Blade looks like the Artful Dodger. Cute kid.
stay strong brother 🙏🏾
The lady officer, he called ‘Granny’, prisons worldwide need more like her, especially youth facilities
I watched your channel here and there every once in a while but damn, this new system you guys developed filming THESE kind of docs is VERY impressive, very good job on the whole team, keep up the great content!
Filming, editing, everything is on point, a bit over dramatic music at times but hey it fits :D
@TheTanChannel - Thanks! When we started this channel we announced we were "opening up the vault," releasing videos from our archive that include everything from raw footage to interviews to edited documentaries. Glad you're enjoying the content and hope you'll stay tuned for more ahead (and yes, music choices from years past are definitely a bit dramatic! :) ) Have a great day and thanks for being with us!
@@CalamariProductions All good, I hope you guys get to produce more episodes like this with a little funding. Definetly the right direction for the channel!
U guys are boosting each others channels. They didn't produce or do anything to make this documentary. Another company did the hard work.
@@csb772 Wrong. Calamari produced this vid. You can see it right in the credits.
@@MikeyReadmanI'm pretty sure this was on Nat Geo years ago
Can you add the production dates of your content? It will make it no less amazing, just helps me enjoy it more by knowing when it was happening
This is from awhile ago..these kids are grown adults almost 30 yrs old now
This is an episode of Lockup. This and the other video with this title...
Most of these are hella old
Follow up most are out 15 years later and doing awesome
On their CCTV you can see that it's around October of 2011.
I would love to follow the brothers' story. That would make a crazy movie
It's a sad story all the way around.
This is interesting video
I pray for these young men out here to do the right thing 🙏
Narrator is the guy from BO2 zombies. Loved his performance in that game and on this video lol
Granny is so sweet!
I thought the same thing
You or too 👌
But businesslike.
glad the brothers got to visit
I feel so sorry for the younger brother
Thank you soo much for all your efforts Calamari. All the excellent changes it presented. Assistance to juveniles. How sad is generational curses. We will be praying more from South Africa 🇿🇦
Yeah because prayer seems to be changing a lot. Best do actual practical solutions in my opinion
Any update on Blake Reed? I was reading abit about his time at the prison 2010 and it did not sound well
He's scheduled to get released in 2027
It’s interesting how these kids try to abide by prisoner rules, but not rules of living in society.
Damn how you get released then go back for 50 YEARS
@Malik - Agree. Crazy.
Except Indiana is a 50/50 earned time, meaning you only do half the years with good behavior
i feel more sympathy for blade than i do his brother. it was terrible what the brothers did and i'm not trying to make excuses, but the trauma that led to his age regression must have been terrible to live through, and with a drunk brother with irrational thoughts and used his trauma response for his own gain. man that's terrible. i hope when he gets out he finds a proper life for himself, filled with people who don't take advantage of him for acting so much younger by no fault of his own.
Even if my child had gone way off the rails and I thought there was no hope, I couldn’t imagine not coming to see my own son in EIGHT YEARS… poor kid has nothing to works towards to get out of the cycle
Hopefully they keep him forever
The grown men in prison act the same as these young kids. Most everyone in there never grown up. They're all like rebellious teens
This is true. They not only did not grow up, they still do not repent for their horrendous crimes they committed and they show no empathy or sadness and sorrow for the suffering they caused their victims.
Prison CAN rehabilitate some inmates....IF they want to be cooperative and absorb the opportunity to makes the right changes.
I grew up in the hills of brown county Indiana it's a beautiful place!!
I spent over 3 years in Juvenile Corrections in Virginia. It is not fun and games. So much stuff changes while you are locked up.
fmr police need not be charged for an acquaintance with under 1gm residual meth. The war on drugs is not effective & never worked under Pres Reagan! He traded arms with Central America. DEA is a huge waste o f DOJ $. The Secret Service father of my cousin did far more. I tested & got hired on the the US Marshals list, before a large Illinois police dept hired me & trained me at the Illinois State Police Academy.
For what have you been convicted?
I love that they call her Granny
You can tell Blade is messed up! The poor boy looks stuck in time! I hope the best for that boy! I know he done very bad but that boy needs real counseling during his sentence!
He's not messed up from his crime he's just messed up from when his mom used to drink while she was pregnant lol
He's probably brain damaged from in utero alcoholism. He's never going to progress. Take him and the brother out of the gene pool .
I agree...Blade had the mind of a 10 yr old and executive decision making was highly impaired. He was following the direction of his older brother, who, was just pissed that the elderly man shot him first. Blade did commit an egregious act but I feel that he is far less culpable...just a baby. 10 years would have been appropriate. 30 is ridiculous because he won't know how to function when he's released.
The younger brother blade reminds me of Billy Bob Thornton in the movie Sling Blade
As ruff as my life gets I watch this to remind my self someone else has it harder so I appreciate every little thing we take for granted like hot water the privacy of ur shower room ur bed food thank you lord Jesus for everything 🙏🏽
God Bless you and yours ❤️…. I too am here with the same appreciation 🙏…. Merry Christmas
I can relate bro, hang in there,keep working and believing. Wish you a prosperous 2022 man. God Bless and Jesus Loves You🙏🏽❤
you a real one homeboy ⚕️
Real shit💯
Someone else always had it harder
Thank you granny
Yeah good luck
Man I feel so damn bad for the little brother. He was asked to do a terrible thing and I do feel for the old man and his wife but he really needs help he doesn’t need to be locked up around other convicts. They’re the only ppl he has to look up too and a building full of criminals aren’t the best role models
Exactly this. This is what many people don't understand. There are two types of offenders, the leaders and followers. The ones who commit crimes out of selfishness and the ones who do it because they follow the only ones they have to look up to. And the worst thing you can do is to put these kids around more bad examples. You take those same kids who follow, giving them good examples to follow, and they wouldnt be doing crimes. The system should not be so black and white overall. There are so many people who can be rehabilitated and should be. While there are people who are simply bad people who are never going to be safe for society, and those are the ones who should be given the long term and life sentences. But the ones who can be, should be treated differently and rehabilitated instead of punished only.
this is what happens when you scroll on TH-cam and now I've ended up here 😂😂😂😂
God some of these kids stories of how they grew up, u can't help to feel really bad for them.
I wish they could stick those awful parents in jail also. Not all parents are bad but the majority of kids in this video had a horrible childhood.
If Blade gets with the wrong people and gets no help while in prison I can invison him being a monster and never getting out
Good
He will definitely be a target for sex offenders when he goes to adult prison. He's in for a big shock. 😮
It sux to be young and really not know alot or alot about the consequences tht come with the crimes tht are being committed cuz I've been there I really didn't know alot about the consequences till it was to late for, I've been in a TEXAS PRISON FOR 3 YRS, THEN A COUPLE OF OTHER TIMES BUT I KNEW ENOUGH NOT TO PUT MYSELF IN A CELL FOR DECADES AND I THANK GOD FOR THT FOR MAKING WEISE PRETTY FAST BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE NOW I KNOW AND ME KNOWING KEEPS ME OUT OF PRISON HOPEFULLY FOR EVER.
Hell, 6 days in county on traffic violations was enough for me, plus being into WAY more serious things and having buddies gettin locked up for actual stretches was enough for me.
@calamariproductions
The update on Aurelious is cut off at the end of the video 41:00
Just wanted to let you know…
I enjoyed the content!
@shaniecestewart2016 - Yikes! Thanks for letting us know. Appreciate that, and appreciate your nice words about our work. THANK YOU!
Anying thing over 15 years is basically life sad...great video
Not at all. 15 is 15.
Life is life.
Get it straight.
You must be from Europe
That’s a sad life right there
Kids, life isn't a video game where its game over" do a serious crime , its LIFE OVER
I been in prison on and off sense I was 14 I'm now 35 and finally I'm home free and no paperwork
Here! ❤️
@Ash & Emi 🙌🙌🥰
I live in the next town. Had no idea this happened.
These kids may be kids, but they’re much more goddamn mature and talk like men more so than a lot of guys and people my age I know. Some of em sound to have good hearts and have taken responsibility for the wrongs they’ve done. What they have done may be terrible and absolutely tragic for the victims families, they at least sound like they’re trying to get their life straight and headed in the right path. Crazy how one mistake like that that took all but a few minutes to take part in could completely change your life or even end it
That young dude is like the prequel to “sling blade”. The similarities are uncanny.
@sint5990 - we've had several people comment the same. It really is surreal.
any updates about those young guys ?
The younger one is set to be released in 2027 the older in 2037
I really don't know what you would do with these boys .They killed and almost killed an elderly couple .Sad for all involved .✝️💜☮️
The younger one reminds me of billy bob thorton in “sling blade”hopefully he grows or works out a lot before he hits adult side…..
Number 3 on here today happy Monday afternoon
@Steph Bentley - Great to have ya! Happy Monday afternoon to you, too (even though it's still morning here on the west coast :) ). Have a great day...and thanks for being here with us!
My favorite Chanel
Sad they don't think they will be caught when they do these terrible crimes sad they get caught and now they are going face big time in either juvie or the adult prison
They had two ways to go the right path or the wrong path and if u don't have the proper bringing up and the love and backbone of family and all u know is the streets and drugs well thats where u going to end up
I was 16 when I placed in a high security prison in Oklahoma called osp or big Mac... I fell through a loop hole in the system. I was supposed to go into a boot camp but due to my high flight risk they placed me in the walls... I spent almost a year before my lawyer found me and got me transferred out... it's really hard on a young person to be in a place like that... we all make mistakes and shouldn't suffer forever for it... God knows those who are truly sorry...
@benjimandover8072 - Really appreciate you posting your own personal story. You are right -- it can take a long time to see legal movement once you're in the system. A lot of young people don't have lawyers and languish even more. It's a tough place, that's for sure. Thanks again for sharing your story and taking the time to be here with us on our channel.
Did you change? I have a different thought. Suffer for our mistakes and we are less likely to repeat them. You must have done something pretty serious to get prison time. Hope you learned from it.🙏
We gotta gi e the 1 kid props for staying out from age 11-13 thats impressive
Life is very difficult 😣
Sad .. be there for your kids!
The younger brother is giving me, Sling Blade vibes.
💯
Some Billie Eilish vibes
Which one of your videos is Colt's first?
Some make it some don’t! To be honest I don’t know anymore which is better the outside world or the inside the way things are now, I’m contemplating it. Sad either way.
Look at the eyes of the older brother? Very cold and stoic. He will be paroled one day.
Ya in 45 years - 2066
Probably medicated to the eyeballs
Who does the narration in the beginning?
I work at a juvenile detention facility. Kids are tough to deal with.
Can you explain more please I'm curious
@@fatboy8231 they have a lot to prove so often start fights, talk back, try to play the alpha.. but those tend to be the most scared
@@lizzyxo9015 survival of the fittest, they adapt.
@@fatboy8231 I can tell you one thing. I can write a book. I been actively working at this facility for 13 years now
It’s true you can’t blame it on your family but at the same time your upbringing plays a huge role… how can you succeed in life if you have no positive role models
We have a saying here in the UK...Your a product of you're environment. In other words if your around bad people or hard drug's then the sad fact is that you most probably end up in prison at some point, mind you the UK ain't as punitive as the US we don't have that 3 strikes and your lifed off or the death penalty here but our prison's are brutal one of the favourite methods of messing some one up is by boiling suger in the kettle and throwing it at someone it then sticks to your skin burning people and self made shanks then getting plugged in the neck or kidneys some bad shit. 🏴🇬🇧
@@shihtzu291 Charles Bronson
Officer granny you told me to have him ready hes ready and says go home and take care of that beautiful little boy i wish you all the luck in the world firedoor
Man that’s the realest thing I ever seen or heard! They already been to a judge and jury she not there to judge regardless of her crime she know hat she signed up for my heart goes out to the good ppl in the system like that! She is the one who gives people hope
Very sad to see people in these comments that don’t understand they could’ve been in the same situation if they had a traumatized past, no good role models, and no love at home.
Still can’t release them if it’s not safe for society
Sad and predictable
So what’s your point?
Hey my mom always says discomfort makes change
I go to prision whem i was 18 il 21 yesrs old now and im out and i see this and i see how wonderful is life with me
how was ur experiences
We need an update on Kevin Henry , seriously cmon . What happened in his case to begin with ?
I’ve been locked up in facility’s housing minors charged as adults. My cell was a kid that had just turned 18, already had been there for 2 years, and serving 35 years
What he did?
Yo they added the apocalypse horn to dude walkin out for transfer smh
18:02 nobody getting cut with that lil ah razor, they cutting onions and peppers with that😂
Just got out may 25 I was 16 when I was charged with robbery and battery that gave me 8 years.. you either learn or don't learn from it 💯
Appreciate you telling your own experience @Nash River. Tough lesson to learn but as you say, hopefully it's a lesson that lasts.
That sucks. I'm 17, and couldn't imagine spending my youth in prison. The American system is draconian. In my country, if a 16 or 17-year-old commits a robbery, they will get at most half a year of probation and a small fine. Who the hell puts a kid in a prison for robbery. That's disgusting.
I hope you have a great life now Hun. I wish you loads of luck and lots of happiness. Take care of yourself x
They have to0 do more about dumping these people back into same environment they came from, without stopping at some sort of Work and Social Release way station for a year or more of their Parole, or their is little point focussing just on that piece of paper called a GED without backup, best they may get is fast food job, that will not be something they can do while in their gang area, everything comes down to Respect, this is drummed into these kids from birth by family in gangs or prison, is also huge part of prison life.
Amazing how Blade is the most mature of the Brothers, has more acceptance of his situation and how to stay out of trouble while in prison, compared to his brother. Yet can see Blade either being a positive force in community or being a very cunning criminal, his older brother would stay straight given the chance.
Anybody know how Aurelious Howard Woods is doing I hope him and that other kid who got 10 yrs. have straightened their lives out?
I lived a needle junkie life from fifteen to late 20s and so did my brother and even being the younger one I always try take the heat and most time it worked I did longer in prison ever time
Protect our children.
Help them...
most of the time we used our razor blades for food. but yes we would melt them onto tooth brushes. i shank you brake off in crucial areas would be first choice over a razor blade. sometimes people would get cut on the check and marked with them.
I can’t imagine how hard it must be having to be on high alert all the time. I imagine you are watching your back constantly. I hope your life is much happier and easier now

@@mrrod3004 I’m sorry. That is crap. I wish things were better for you. I reckon some people just don’t ever get a break in life and you are one of them. I hope life really does give you a break and you have some happiness. You deserve that x
@@nickyjones867 thank you...
Drugs kills the life of the young people.....im very sad for them...
Developmentally 10 year old is plenty old enough to know right from wrong. I’ve taught thousands of children, by ten you know what can happen if you break into homes, particularly in the us with the number of weapons. I can’t be too sympathetic, the brothers might not see each other, but neither will the friends and relatives of the men they took. I can’t imagine the poor lady will ever feel safe again or get over losing her husband.
Me and my brother corresponded with each other while both in prison . Got permission from the warden in tdcj
I grew up in juvie on to adult prison im 36 got a job and girl im good not another day in a cage thank you
Just sickening
Destroyed multiple lives with one decision to get drunk terrible …. Feel bad for them and the family they hit
I just did 4 yrs in old folsom. I cant imagine doing more time then that. I feel bad for the victims and also these kids
You know an officer walker with a mustache you can’t miss!? Or officer Hougland?
I would not want to be your cellmate , you look terrifying 😐 😁
Damn they got Budd from Kill Bill to narrate this one.
Good documentary, you know what I mean?
