The 89TH Temple

Seven juvenile offenders on leave from various reform schools are doing the 1,300-kilometer Shikoku Pilgrimage of 88 Temples on foot with a counselor and some assigned wardens from the state. The youths are under strict observation with at least one of the supervisors with them at all times. When they finish the pilgrimage, they will be released. Will they rejoin society or leave it behind?
