The first season, featuring RedCliff Ascent, won an International Emmy. Subsequent seasons saw declining viewership. The American version of Brat Camp was cancelled after its one-season run, but is being aired in Canada on Slice as of early 2007. The UK version was also aired in the United States in 2004 on ABC Family, and its popularity resulted in ABC ordering an American version.
The format is distributed internationally by DRG and has been adapted in several territories.
Series 1
Redcliff was asked to be featured in a second round of Brat Camp, but declined when it became obvious that the next season would require tougher kids and increased drama. The first series actually won an International Emmy Award for best non-scripted program. RedCliff Ascent spokesman, Stephen Schultz mentioned that "RedCliff Ascent is a treatment program, not a TV show". James Fonfe' became quite a media icon after his return to the UK. While most students struggle a bit upon return home, a year later James was working with his mother teaching swimming and had been drug-free, as verified by urine tests administered by his mother. As James put it: ‘You do feel trapped. But it is worth it. I am glad I did it. I wouldn’t go back now, but I don’t have a problem any more – if I had a problem in the future then I would go back.’
With exclusive access to several facilities across the US, this documentary explores the controversial issue of the aggressive behavioural modification and confrontational methods youth rehabilitation camps in America employ. #ExtremeBratCamp

To watch the full 9-minute video visit: www.swpictures.co.uk
Story: They are kidnapped in the middle of the night: snatched from their beds, handcuffed and taken hundreds or even thousands of miles to remote and brutal prison camps – sometimes in a foreign country. Here they are routinely subjected to torture, sexual abuse and deprived of food and education. They are frequently held in solitary confinement for weeks on end. Many have been locked up and made to sleep in outside dog cages. Some have died. Yet these are not terror suspects. They are young and vulnerable teenagers, usually American, and typically aged 12-15. They have not been charged with – much less convicted of – any crime.

A Look Inside the USA's Tough Boot Camps for Kids: America's Troubled Teen Industry | Documentary
Critics claim they’re little more than ’torture camps’, taking tough love way too far. But for desperate parents, military-style boot camps are often seen as the last chance for their children to avoid the vicious cycle of delinquency and jail.
We spent five months at the Discovery Challenge Academy, which welcomes 125 troubled teens every year. The first two weeks are the hardest. Everything is strictly regimented: 10 minutes to eat, 2 minutes to shower, 10 seconds to put on socks. There are 50 beds per dormitory and even going to the bathroom requires permission. Phones, TVs and the internet are all banned, as is seeing family during the first three months.
Who are these young people? How did they get there and what trials and challenges will they have to overcome?

Story: They are kidnapped in the middle of the night: snatched from their beds, handcuffed and taken hundreds or even thousands of miles to remote and brutal prison camps – sometimes in a foreign country. Here they are routinely subjected to torture, sexual abuse and deprived of food and education. They are frequently held in solitary confinement for weeks on end. Many have been locked up and made to sleep in outside dog cages. Some have died. Yet these are not terror suspects. They are young and vulnerable teenagers, usually American, and typically aged 12-15. They have not been charged with – much less convicted of – any crime. The companies which incarcerate and abuse these children claim to be “turning round” the lives of troubled teenagers – yet the only official study (by the US government) found that for all their violence and pressure, their programmes made absolutely no lasting difference to the behaviour or problems of difficult teenagers. Despite this – and despite more than 24 documented deaths in their facilities – the “brat camp” industry operates almost completely beyond the reach of the law. There are on average 14,000 teenagers locked up in camps at any one time – including a handful of British and European or Scandinavian children. Most remain “in the programme” for an average of 18 months – at a cost of around $3,000 a month. Yet there is no US government regulation or oversight of what happens to these vulnerable teenagers. We went to the USA to investigate these “brat camps” and the people who run them, the teenagers who went to them and the parents who arranged for their children to be sent to them.
