I worked in a Juvenile Detention Facility (Boot Camp style) for years. Got'em up at 5 a.m. and worked until after dark.
What I learned is...they will not change unless they want to. Most, just put on a front and did their time (1 to 2 years). Had a few sent back to repeat their time. They would do good while in the program but once they got back to their old environment they again fell into the same bad behaviors.
You could try moving to an isolated area and home school. You would have to totally isolate him from everyone. Because he will/can find the "bad" group in any locale. Therefore, I'm talking TOTAL isolation. This is not 'short-term". It needs to be for years. It's a huge sacrifice on your part.
I had to do this with my son and it has taken almost 15 years. All the time in jails (Army and civilian),did not phase him. Once, CID had him jailed for investigation for murder. The man they thought he murdered had AWOL'ed and was caught about a week later. Drugs bring them down a bad road. I have no doubt he would have been dead or in prison if he had not been isolated away from those choices.
I have been out of the juvenile job for 8 years. I check on our state prisoner database periodically and search for names of the youth we had in our facility. Many are listed. The national average of the young adults that get 'sent off' and recommit crimes is 9 out of 10.
Only 1 out of every 10 of the youth have a chance of making it.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
