Last Chance in Texas: The Redemption of Criminal Youth | John Hubner

Giddings, Texas, is home to the Giddings State School, a place where juvenile murderers, rapists, and other felons are given a second chance at life. For nine months author Hubner listened in on two Capital Offenders Groups, one for teen boys and one for teen girls, as the participants came to grips with their histories, both as victims and as victimizers. The students who complete the rigorous program, and develop empathy for their victims, go free—and rarely commit new crimes. Those who don't complete the program go to prison, maybe for 30 or 40 years. Hubner recounts horrible lives and crimes and makes the case for treating young offenders while change is still possible.
