In post-Soviet Russia, troubled underage boys caught at various
offenses (from stealing to multiple murder) are committed for a few
years to closed state reform schools. There, they live in a military
type of regime, starting the day with open air exercises, making beds
to absurdly meticulous rules etcetera. Ironically, many come from such
poor and/or abusive, often broken families that a structured life with
three square meals, a warm dorm and regular classes feels like a
better deal, some actually dread returning home.
