Former WWE wrestler-turned-action star Dwayne Johnson gives an incarcerated group of troubled youths a second chance to clean up their lives in the trailer for the HBO documentary "Rock and a Hard Place."

Executive produced by the "Fast & Furious" star, the documentary takes a close look at America's prison system, focusing on a unique prison boot camp program in Miami's Dade County, in which young offenders are given an opportunity to serve their time in a strict, military-style, six-week rehabilitation course.

Directed by Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning documentarians Jon Alpert and Matthew O'Neill (Baghdad ER), the HBO film is set to premiere Monday, March 27th.
