A "Scared Straight" movie
I think "Sleepers" should be considered a "scared straight" movie and shown to kids who are going down the wrong path in life in order to get them and keep them in line before they go further down the wrong paths they are going down. Other movies that are recommended are "Bad Boys"(the 1983 movie starring Sean Penn and Esai Morales of "La Bamba" not the 1995 movie along with its sequel with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence)and "American Me." All three of those movies show the consequences of committing a juvenile crime and what can happen in a juvenile hall and/or prison. This post can be disagreeable but this is my opinion on this movie.
