A prison without bars. Juvenile delinquents, inner city kids, have been set out on the high Sonoran dessert to see if it might break their pattern of crime. Faced with jail, they were offered a choice. They could join this unusual legion and commit themselves to traveling 2-thousand miles on a wagon train.
They are called Buffalo soldiers, an echo of the Black cavalry that once roamed the old west. For a year, there will be no smoking. No drinking. No drugs. It offers a new definition of hard time.
DOES IT WORK?
