Rome, GA- A little over 3 months ago, camera crews filled the Floyd County jail as a group of at-risk teens that have been in trouble for things ranging from drugs to theft to violence, came face to face with the reality of their choices. This program has been done many times at the Floyd County Sheriff's Office. However, this time, cameras from the A&E Grammy nominated show "Beyond Scared Straight" were following the deputies and participating inmates as they gave the teens a big dose of reality and showed them the consequences of their life choices.
This is the first episode of two that will air on A&E featuring the "Turning Point" program at the Sheriff's Office. Deputies volunteer their time and participating inmates get nothing more than the satisfaction of possibly helping put an at-risk teen on the right path and helping them avoid the mistakes that they themselves have made.
This first episode of A&E's Beyond Scared Straight, featuring the Floyd County Sheriff's Office will air on Thursday, January 10th at 10pm.
