miles folsom has been in the youth unit for the past two years. but today is his 18th birthday.irst day in the big house. he is serving 36 years for armed robbery, criminal confinement and burglary. >> it's a little nerve-racking. you don't know anybody. it's a lot of bigger of a side you know. most of the people in here are my father's age, you know. i never thought in my wildest dreams i would ever come to prison. never thought about prison. really it sounds kind of stupid from my standpoint. because looking back on the things that i was doing, if i would have thought about it, there was no way that i couldn't have not ended up in prison. i have been in trouble since i was nine. you know, repeatedly. acts of violence, vandalism, things like theft, you know. so the police know me, you know, and they were sick and tired of me. so they took everything that they could and slapped it on me. >> folsom was 15 when he was tried as an adult for his latest safety convictions, which made headlines in his smalltown newspaper. >> this is my newspaper article. the heading says reign of terr
