seg cells or things like that. next weapons system is a pepper ball gun. it actually fires a .67 caliber pepper ball and we can use this to shoot off the walls and fog an area if we can't get directly to the offender or if they're out of the range of the spray. this is similar to the tear gas you see police use where if there's a large area that they need to affect, to move people back or control their movement, this is what we are going to employ. finally this is a riot control weapon. it fires a .37 millimeter wooden baton round. the round is fired at the floor, skipped into the offenders' legs. it's designed to discourage offenders from doing what they're doing and get them to move back. >> unfortunately for staff, they're not the only ones armed. >> door violation. door violation. door violation. >> homemade weapons of every kind are routinely confiscated

flushing it down the toilet. >> it's this kind of stuff. they actually turned his water off. >> the first thing you got to keep in mind is they are in prison. and they're not in, you know, for jaywalking or anything. they are violent. so we do have dangerous kids. but in all, they're still teenagers. you got to understand that they are teenagers. >> can you please turn my water back on? >> why are you trying to stop up the commode? >> he'll have it off for the rest of the day. probably on a 24 to 48-hour restriction. >> i'm not going to go in his room and rip it out. because then he'll start cutting on himself, tearing up everything, tearing up everything else. this is just a recurring thing. so if he is getting rid of it that's fine. he'll go out for rec tomorrow or today. as soon as he does, i'll just strip everything out of his room. >> after the destructive inmate

days before they can get a ride. >> okay. >> 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 parent 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. >> i'm not going to rush her 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. 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 capitan, 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 and don't want to care or they're working towards 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 five hours, 18-year-old michael brehm continues his gruelling interview with the committee

that will decide his fate. >> i haven't been this nervous since court. 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. >> okay. >> what's going on? >> 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.

that's the main thing. going to be all right, baby? >> yeah, i'm going to be all right. >> keep up with your plans. >> good luck. bye-bye. >> no looking back. >> charles, pull your pants up. >> we going to get him a belt. >> charles taylor is one of my favorite kids who went through this program. he wants to be a navy s.e.a.l. i think he could be a great one. i have a lot of hope for him. i hope he keeps in contact with us so i know how he's doing. >> feel good seeing my mom, man. i ain't seen her in a long time. long time. >> for charles taylor and michael brehm, a change in mind-set and attitude is evident after months of intensive rehab at pendleton. but tomorrow staff will start all over again with the 300 teens who still remain behind bars.
