Operation Right Track, in central Florida, takes "at-risk" youth ages 10-17 through a day-long program that emphasizes the consequences of bad decisions. The day starts at 7am, and includes an hour of exercise, time in a classroom, and time a tour of the Seminole County Jail.

"It's a military-style atmosphere where the youths have scripted responses. Much of the afternoon is spent in the classroom, learning the consequences of substance abuse and the keys to building character."

The cost for the program costs just $35. Kids are referred to the program by parents, or law enforcement authorities.
