Two women filmmakers from Israel, Ayelet Menahemi and Eilona Ariel, initiated this independent project. In the winter of 1994-95 they spent five months in India, doing intensive research on the use of Vipassana as taught by S. N. Goenka as a rehabilitation method and its dramatic impact on foreign and Indian prisoners.The authorities were unusually cooperative, allowing the team free access to two Indian jails. The documentary begins with the story of Tihar Prison - a huge and notorious institution housing 10,000 inmates, 9,000 of them awaiting trial. When a new Inspector General, Kiran Bedi, was posted there in 1993, Tihar entered period of rapid-fire change.

Le documentaire, filmé dans la prison d'État de l'East Jersey, raconte la vie d'un groupe de jeunes délinquants qui rencontrent des condamnés à perpétuité, qui font en sorte de les effrayer (d'où le titre Scared Straight!) pour leur éviter la prison.
