i lived there for 1 day shy of 1 year and it was the worst stay of my life.I didnt start fight,cause problems, or make the officers jobs any harder than they have to b.and still i was jumped 29 times and recieved a broken jaw (that the facility thought they could hide from my family for almost 2 months when its written policy to let the parent/guardian know of any serious injuries while staying there and i had to walk around with it hanging in the socket for a week in a half because the medical staff said it wasnt broke.),a broken nose,2 concussions and 3 black eyes.theres alot of behind the scenes shit that goes on that they all do alot of extra shit to keep it all hush-hush but soon enough theyll get found out.

children don't belong in prison. The frightening thing is they will be getting out and they will be 100% worse than when they went in. Maybe we should rethink our "tough on crime" rhetoric and try to come up with productive and common sense solutions to teen crime. This is rediculous and a scam on taxpayers. We should be using our taxpayer dollars much more effectively than this. Beward of the Prison Industrial Complex. This is just a feed into the Big House where most of these kids will eventually end up because they get no help or rehabilitation inside these places. Pathetic and dangerous. Society is not benefiting, but the private prison industry is.
