Checking in at the Crowbar Hotel

Checking in at the Crowbar Hotel compresses the humanity of young adults, the good, bad and ugly of it, into a readable and humorous view of adolescent life and growth behind bars. The Crowbar Hotel, popular slang for the jail, the slammer, the joint, is a cultural phenomenon that is characterized by the resourcefulness, language and rituals of its members.

Kids at the Crowbar Hotel create, invent, endure and survive. Some do these things better than others and some check out ready to not return. Lots do return and try again to stay away.
