For over a decade Calamari Productions has been producing documentary case studies inside the closed confines of America's juvenile systems. Our television programs -- which have aired on NBC, MSNBC, MTV, A&E, and COURT TV -- are just the beginning. 2009 marks the launch of Calamari Educational Media designed to enhance educational and professional training experiences across the juvenile spectrum.

Premiering July 4th at 10PM, on MCNBC

“[Calamari's work serves] not only to educate the public on the procedures of the juvenile justice system, but also to illustrate the human side of the courts through the eyes of children. It is my hope that through projects such as [Calamari’s], we can raise public awareness of the problems facing our youth and work together to solve them.”

~ Hon. Evan Bayh, United States Senator
