Video of a judge's tough but caring speech to a group of troubled teens is spreading all over the internet. Bibb County (GA) Superior Court Judge Verda Colvin spoke to the group as part of the "Consider the Consequences" program.

You can have the ultimate experience — you can be in this body bag. And the only way somebody will know you're in here is this tag with your name on it. What do you wanna do?

The program started in Georgia last year. The troubled kids who take part meet with a judge, as well as even spending some time in a jail cell

The teens are later required to write an essay and apology letter on what they learned. Programs like this have actually helped deter plenty of young people from a life of crime.
