that stuff works. Kept me out of jail for a few years at least
seriously though, I had to go through one when I was living in NYC and let me tell you, having to spend a few hours in Rikers Island in a big room with murderers and armed robbers that are yelling at you and making you give them your shoes when you're 14 will scare the living hell out of you.
