♪ or would they pass that wonder on? ♪ ♪ i wonder how it'd change your point of view ♪ ♪ if i gave one to you? ♪ after serving six months at pendleton juvenile correctional facility on drug charges, release day has finally arrived for 18-year-old charles taylor. all he needs is his mother's signature, and he will be free. >> if she can't get here today, he'll go back into his unit. he'll have to. sometimes it can be a couple days before they can get a ride.

>> okay. sk skbr. >> i had a feeling something like this was going to happen. >> unfortunately for him, though, she missed his graduation ceremony, and charles is now back in his prison uniform. >> this is one of the more frustrating aspects of working in the juvenile facility. obviously, he has done everything that he needed to do in order to be released from the program. i'm sure his heart's been ripped out. in his mind, his parents didn't care enough to come and make sure he got picked up today. so i'm frustrated, i'm sure he's really frustrated as well. >> now charles is unsure where his mother is and when she'll show up to get him. >> taylor's parents are not here. johnson's parents are. >> hopefully she didn't get lost. >> hopefully not. >> we got a little confused as to which parent was almost here. we have two offenders scheduled for release today. both sets of parents are on their way here. however, they haven't arrived yet. we thought offender taylor's mother was almost here, and it

wound up being offender johnson's mother who was almost here. >> she'll be here, she'll be here. you know what i mean? i'm not going to rush through it. as long as she get down here to get me, i'll be fine with that situation. >> let's try her again. she must have turned it off. it went straight to voicemail. >> as long as she get down here though. >> she'll be here. >> the captain isn't the only one sweating. staff throughout the facility are nervous about what comes next for charles. >> charles obviously is frustrated. he was worried about this before. i think he's had some issues with mother coming through and not always being there. so he's upset. he's worried. it's obviously frustrating. we built this kid up, do this so you can get home. follow the rules. work this program. make some changes so you go home. and they've done the work, they've followed the rules, they've worked the program. they've done everything they had to do. then mother doesn't come through. and it's no fault of their own.

>> i'm in the captain's office. it's somewhere we mostly don't go. i feel privileged, chilling with the old captain, head honcho, head of all heads. >> that's enough. you're going home. we already signed the papers. >> going all the way home. >> some students when they come to me, school is either a good place or a bad place. and they either don't care, don't want to care, or they're working toward getting out of here as quickly as possible. and charles is one of those students who came to me ready to do what he needed to do to get out of this facility. and i think he has leadership potential. i hope, i pray that he does well. because he really could. he could do wonderful things. >> while charles taylor makes the best of the wait that has already stretched to more than 5 hours, 18-year-old ming l brehm continues his gruelling

interview with the committee that will decide his fate. >> i haven't been this nervous since court. i don't know, this pretty much decides my freedom. >> program director chris blessinger cuts to the core of michael's problems. >> you and i have had conversations before. and one of those conversations has been about the seriousness, about the extensive history that you have using substances. >> right. >> if you look back on a lot of your charges, a lot of those charges were when you were high or when you were drunk. so what is going to be different this time when you get out? >> i have a lot more access to things when i get out like groups. i'm going to go to aa and na meetings. i'm really going to try my hardest. like i said, i am an adult now. i really have to change. and if i continue this, then i'm going to be dead or i'm going to be in a wheelchair. and that scares me, it really does. because i know the temptation is going to be out there in any

face. >> does anybody in your family drink or smoke or use drugs? anybody in your extended family? >> my mom, she quit drinking. she quit drinking for me. because i asked her to. i was like, mom, when i go home, i know you like to have your cocktails every now and then. but you're going to have to do me a favor and stop that. she told me she respects that and she'll do it for me. >> you're exactly right. because if you're around it, you're going to be tempted. >> okay, michael. i'm going to have you go over in that room and wait for a second while we have a discussion and then we'll have you come back out. >> thank you. >> everything sounded good. i answered every question, straightforward the best i could. told her what my plans are when i get out. and the captain said i have done a good program. ms. blessinger agreed and they said they're proud of me that i got my ged on my own free will. i hope everything goes well. >> i think he's a party animal,

what do you think? >> oh, definitely. definitely. >> back in the captain's office, charles taylor's wait for his mother enters its sixth hour. >> okay. well, i'll see if i can't get ahold of his mom again, see how far out she is or if she's hung in traffic. okay. bye. >> let's try her again. >> i feel my mama getting close. i feel it in my heart. the best part of the body. the heart. >> just kicked over to her voicemail again. >> try the 736 number and my sister. tell her call the phone. call my mother's phone. and see where they are located and she can call you back. >> what is your sister's name? >> sharelle. i am very eager to see her. it's been a long time. she's been there for me through thick and thin. so it's always going to be that way. i have been through more

stressful obstacles, and i can he has nothing left to prove. she has guaranteed me she'd be here, so hopefully if she won't be here, i'll drive him home myself. >> no pickup. >> that's cool. coming up -- this three-time offender learns his fate. >> if there are no further questions, we'll take a vote of the administrative review committee on recommendation that michael be promoted to release phase. >> a long day comes to an end for charles taylor. >> with mother not following through on this, the kid regrets his offense. they have nothing to work for. there's no home to go to. there's no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. an understand every angle of your cash flow- last week, this month, and even next year. for seeing your business's cash flow like never before, introducing cash flow insight powered by pnc cfo. a suite of online tools that lets you
