Sure. There was a kid who was constantly getting into trouble at school, stealing small things from classmates. He was sent to a scared straight program. There, he saw inmates talk about how their small crimes led to big prison sentences. It scared him so much that he completely changed his behavior at school and became an honest student.
There was a group of young offenders in a particular city. They were involved in petty crimes like stealing and vandalism. The scared straight program took them to a maximum - security prison. There, they interacted with inmates who told them about the regrets they had in life because of their criminal actions. This really hit home for these young people. Many of them went on to join community service programs and stay away from crime. They realized that a life of crime only leads to a dead - end and that they had better options.
