A recent field trip to a Detroit court took a surprising turn for a 16-year-old girl who ended up in jail clothes and handcuffs due to a judge's disapproval of her attitude. Judge Kenneth King, of 36th District Court, defended his actions by stating that he wanted to make the experience feel real to the teenager, likening it to the concept of 'Scared Straight'.
The incident occurred during a visit organized by The Greening of Detroit, a nonprofit environmental group, where the girl was observed falling asleep in the courtroom. Judge King, in response, had her change into jail attire and wear handcuffs as a way to emphasize the seriousness of the situation.
