First Time Felon is a 1997 television film directed by Charles S. Dutton and starring Omar Epps.

Plot

A young inexperienced drug dealer and Vice Lords gang member, Greg Yance (Omar Epps), is arrested for drug possession in his hometown, Chicago. Because of Yance having five grams of drugs under his belt at the time of arrest, he is facing a five-year prison sentence with no parole for drug trafficking. Because it is his first offense, he is offered an alternate sentence of 120 days in an intensive boot camp. Throughout the boot camp, an experienced drill sergeant, Sergeant Calhoun (Delroy Lindo), continues pressuring Yance to follow through with the camp. Sergeant Calhoun's brutal methods breed resentment in Yance and other inmates.
