Prisoners Enrolled in One of the Toughest Rehab Programs | SoCal Connected | KCET

Описание: Thousands of inmates are housed in Chino Prison, just 40 miles east of Los Angeles. Just beyond the barbed wire fences, guard tours, and orange jumpsuits, there's a small group of inmates enrolled in one of the toughest prison rehabilitation programs in the world.

Some inmates are convicted bank robbers and drug dealers hoping for a second chance at life through the prison's 18-month long training program. That's where the Marine Technology Training Center comes into play. The rigorous program trains felons in deep-water diving.

Through the program, inmates are able to learn technical forms of diving, swimming, and other skills. But it's not all fun and games -- 8 out of 10 divers don't make it through graduation.
