At a time when the criminal justice system faces new forms of scrutiny, media representations of criminality and incarceration become especially consequential. Our research investigates how a popular reality TV show portrays girls\u2019 experiences within the juvenile justice system. We conducted an analysis of the Netflix docuseries Girls Incarcerated. We developed and applied analytic codes to every episode in Season One and Season Two. We found that the show portrayed juvenile detention centers as reformative\u2014as institutions that encourage incarcerated girls to change their lives for the better. Two frames, including hard work and structure, emerged in support of this overarching theme. Specifically, the series depicted the girls adopting constructive behaviors, changing dysfunctional attitudes, and pursuing new goals. This \u2018hard work\u2019 was prompted and supported by the juvenile detention center\u2019s programming, namely advising and school that were heavily infused with accountability structures. The \u2018reform\u2019 narrative that emerged in our coding of Girls Incarcerated is deeply problematic in its romanticizing of incarceration\u2019s purposes and possibilities. The prescriptions of hard work and accountability may make for good TV, but they ignore the empirical realities of girls\u2019 experiences in the criminal justice system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emma Blazel Sociology, HistoryErinn Brooks Assistant Professor of Sociology Abstract In 2016, approximately 248,000 girls were arrested in the United States (Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, 2016).
