For the past few years, some families in the UK have been living in "sin bins."
In sports, a sin bin is a penalty box, but in the UK, it's sort of like a fishbowl.
Through the Family Intervention Project, the British government subjected about 2,000 of its "worst" families to round-the-clock monitoring, making sure children in the families went to school on time, to sleep at decent hours and ate nutritious meals.
Security guards carried out home checks, and parents with drug and alcohol problems received help to fight their addictions.
The purpose of Family Intervention Projects, according to the British government is to quell to swell of anti-social behavior in Britain. The thought behind the program is that a stable home life leads to future societal stability.
