Youngest Kids In Prison Then & Now - The FULL 15-Year Documentary - Behind Bars & Beyond
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2024
- For 15 years our cameras followed the youngest kids behind bars in Indiana as they made their way through their first years in prison. This video journey follows their first days behind prison walls, what it looked like as they grew up behind bars, filmed their transitions from one prison to another, watched as cellmates said goodbye to each other, and ultimately followed some of them as they fully transformed from young kids to mature young men.
This complete true crime documentary is the only known video documentation of kids growing up behind bars. In the end, we see not only their time being shackled and locked up, but also their inspirational journeys to freedom and their determination to give back to society.
For those who need a written update to the cases featured, please see below:
Aaron Gabriel is doing very well now and is married with kids. Sheppard Harrison ended up back in prison after release and died in his cell due to complications with drugs.
After release, Michael Stanley never returned to the system.
Attorney Monica Foster was successful with Paul Gingerich's legal appeal. The case went all the way to the Indiana Supreme Court where the justices unanimously ruled to throw out Paul's adult conviction. The case was remanded back to the juvenile courts where he received a sentence modification. Paul ultimately served 7 years behind bars and was released.
Colt Lundy also received a sentence modification (following the news that Paul's case was thrown out by the state Supreme Court, even though Colt was not a part of that legal action). His attorney was successful in convincing the court that his model behavior behind bars and the state Supreme Court ruling in Paul's favor was evidence he should not serve his full sentence. He served nearly 10 years behind bars and was released in 2019. He has done extremely well since release, has worked two full time jobs and also now works with former cellmate Miles. The two continue to give speeches around the country on matters related to juvenile justice and incarceration.
It took Miles Folsom nearly 12 years and multiple lawyers to receive a sentence modification. In 2019, a newly elected prosecutor agreed to review his case, took the time to visit Miles in prison and determined his excellent behavior and participation in prison programs proved he was worthy of a second chance. He received the blessing of the original juvenile judge who sentenced Miles to 36 years to approve the modification request. In December 2020, Miles was released after 12 years behind bars. Since that time, he has given speeches around the globe on youth incarceration and the power of education. Following release, he continued his college studies and enrolled on campus at Holy Cross College in South Bend, IN. In 2022 he graduated with his Bachelor's Degree and was class valedictorian. He is also married with a son.
Miles and Colt remain best friends and business partners today, and remain committed to giving back to society. They can be reached at investedyouth501.com

Monica (Paul’s lawyer) really cares. She’s definitely in the right profession. God bless you, Monica 🫡 thank you for doing what you do
@Freehander - She is a superstar lawyer and works on some of the toughest cases, here and abroad. She is also called upon to teach in classrooms around the globe. Paul couldn't have been in better hands. Thank you for watching!
So proud of Miles and Colt! I think they'd have been fine on their own but, finding each other made them both better!!
I wish them absolute success and happiness!
@barbarageorge7848 - Thank you for watching their stories! As each of them always says, "we are the brothers each of us never had." True friendship in the absolute worst of times, now continuing after incarceration. Thank you for wishing them well.
I love updates on them. You guys are amazing for raising awareness for the voiceless.
I truly wish they don't have to go through something like that, But on the other hand they did something wrong and have to pay for there crimes, but just to throw them to the dogs is not right either, what is the solution I truly don't know but it's truly awful, I truly wish I had the answers but unfortunately I don't if there was an answer somebody would have already come up with it God bless you young kids please straighten up
This account is soo underrated. I really appreciate you guy’s work- the time the effort is crazzyy

High quality channel ! 🌟
@sunset6010 - thank you so much. We really appreciate that!
Would you consider - placing in the Description - an update on each person featured? 🌟
@sunset6020- Sure thing! Thank you for suggesting that. We’ll take care of that asap.
Thank you for this story. There really was a light at the end for these kids turned into men and achieving success together. Congrats to Miles and Colt. I hope the other boys featured in this film were able to leave prison, and achieve personal success.
you can tell even at 15 in Prison, Miles was always smart & aware. observer. the way he expresses himself shows intelligence. im not surprised he turned out wise & well spoken.
@JaeThaGemini - Very well said! Thanks for watching.
THANK YOU for the update in the description !
Its easy to get more out of this video (at least for me) when i can match the update with the interviewees)
@sunset6010 - Happy to help! This is why we love our viewers...they always think of things we might not think of when it comes to our videos. :). Thanks again!
This is what should be plastered all over TV . Real Raw
@Hope1961F - THANKS! We really appreciate that!!
Wow that is one hell of a story. Congratulations to both of them. That’s why you don’t give up on these kids.
@oumike7000 - Thanks for recognizing that change *is* possible. Miles and Colt are true examples of that. Appreciate you watching and commenting!
Thank you for the update
@Stan-mp8zz - You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful videos love the videos binge watching
@Karina-il7ts - Thanks!! We greatly appreciate your viewership!
So proud of miles and colt
just amazing love it
@tinyonelove7947 - Thank you!!
It’s underrated
Yeah send a kid his age & size to an adult prison where he’ll become a victim of adult predators, the prison system really needs reform
@enterprise0523 - Thanks for watching. The point you make is one that many criminal justice experts make -- that sending kids to the adult system vs. keeping them in the juvenile system is a recipe for disaster. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.
these kids turned into men’s and achieving success together
What a beautiful documentary that really sheds
r
eality on real life . I unmistakably judged Colt and Miles. They should be very proud of all their success and achievements and strength. God bless them From Australia ❤🎉
@user-zl3wf2eo9p - We appreciate you watching these stories and taking the time to comment. It can be very difficult for kids who are sent to adult prison with long sentences to make the decision to find a path to better themselves while behind bars. It's much easier to fall into prison life and assume there is no hope for the future. Miles, Colt and many others we've followed have helped prove that change is possible. Thanks again for watching!
Like the vids stunning vids
I’m very proud of this kids I still want to know what’s Anthony situation is which I’m proud of him too
@jackieosegueda7504 - Thank you for watching. Anthony is still in prison and is now 31 years old. We hope to have more updates soon. Thanks again for watching and commenting!
Only in America that the prison system locks anyone up regardless of age
congratulations to miles and colt
Locking kids up is only going to make these kids even more dangerous when they get out
I could never imagine @ 14 losing 30 years of my life in prison.have never been their and will never do anything to end up their.
We know more about children than the victorians did, but we don't act like it. 7 year olds can be tried as adults, without even having a violent record? It's crazy. Your videos are heart breaking. Our system fails terribly on every level and sure the hell fails kids.
@addie_is_me - Thank you for watching and commenting. It's always our hope that our videos help inform and educate. The juvenile system is normally closed to the outside world, so we hope by shining a light, we can help everyone better understand how it works and what's at stake. It can be heartbreaking to watch, but vitally important to see. We greatly appreciate your viewership.
Our system is so screwed up. These kids doing more time then people who kill kids or molested beat them. My heart breaks for these lil kids. The kid that said when he was in county of he got out then that was enough up scare him straight he didn't understand that he was going to adult prison. Hope they get a chance at real life befor they learn prison life.. keep coming with dates of y'all can.
Can tell that they never had hit anyone with a lock u never put in the sock u tie it to it
How fair is it that Paul got released but cole continues to fulfill his full sentence? They played An equal part.. that doesn't seem fair at all
@missieszentes9858 - very good question! The reason that happened is because Paul and his family appealed his adult conviction after he was initially sentenced. Colt did not. He was afraid if he appealed he could actually get an even longer sentence than his 25 year sentence. However, once Paul's appeal was successful with the Indiana Supreme Court, that most likely played a big role in Colt's attorney being successful in advocating for Colt's sentence modification. Hope this helps explain things. Thank you again for watching and asking the question!
Colt is out
Imagine how boring it must be to live your life in those small cells, celldoor is open a few hours everyday. But locked much of the time also. Do your best to avoid ending up like this. Its easy if you try.
Aaron Gabriel is doing well now, married and has kids. Sheppard Harrison, unfortunately, passed away due to complications with drugs. Aaron posted on another video in this channel
@Freehander - thank you for posting this. Yes, we did do an update on their story in a previous video on our channel and saw that Aaron commented. We are sooo glad to hear how well he's doing. He serves as an inspiration and example for others that change *can* happen. We will add that update in our description section. Thank you for reminding us!
This is old, I wonder how these kids are doing now…
Mum and dad taught them
This man said "he liked it." He thinks he katy perry.
Our society is soooo civilized 😢😢😢 incarceration should not be about profits. For society, it should be about rehabilitation
No. The goal of incarceration is punishment for crimes. Rehabilitation is personal and a luxury. Your mindset is what got the death penalty banned, child rapists allowed to live etc. Pls dont vote
I have seen this before except they still hit the yard!! Wonder what’s different hmmmm
I see Hawk Tauh in your future’s lmao
I think ya know they might ya know use "ya know" a little to much. Ya know? 🤦♀️🤣
Too much of this video has been used (seen) in other videos. And wasn't Colt charged with murder?
@alex1850 - we say in the description that this video is a combination of our original documentary + the other videos we've produced on these kids' stories. We mention that we've done this so we now have a video that has the FULL timeline of their growing up behind bars in one single video. That way, viewers who haven't seen all the individual videos can now see it in full here.
As for Colt, he was not charged with murder. He and Paul were both charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Thank you for asking and allowing us to clarify!
@alex1850 according to what I’ve seen Colt is doing very well on the outside. Miles too. You have to look at each case individually. Colt is no where close to Ted Bundy on any level.
@elaineharwood3639 - You are correct! Both Colt and Miles are doing great today, work tirelessly and find every way possible to give back. Thank you for commenting.
I’m not a monster? WTF?
So jail should just be a human disposal instead of actual rehabilitation? How exactly do you think what's going on right now is a good use of tax dollars?
Yes. At what point does further incarceration serve a purpose when there is clear evidence of change and rehabilitation? The cost to the taxpayer is huge. We need to tell the difference between those who are bad and those who we are just mad at. There IS a difference.
Colt lundy. Ted Bundy.
What a phenomenal job, boys. Well done!
its interesting how lundy said that the news made him seem like a bad person....uhhhh wellllll....he MURDERED....KILLED an innocent person. cold lundy IS a bad person....a pretty evil person actually.
