First Time Felon

“There's his way or the hard way. One guard. One inmate. One chance for redemption.”

★ 6.8/10 TMDB 1997-09-06 110 min

Inspired by the true story of Greg Yance. In the film, Yance (Epps) is a hood who goes to jail for possession of drugs. He is given a choice: 5 years in jail or a couple of months in boot camp. He chooses boot camp and finds out it is tougher than he thought it would be. He braves it through and comes home a better man. He then has to deal with the real world, and never gives up no matter what the odds.
