When I was on 4th phase my host parents had made up a room in the basement for us that had 3 sets of bunk beds and nothing more in it. Our clothes were kept in dressers and closets outside the room. And the door had a screamer alarm on it so there was no getting up in the middle of the night and getting away.
The shower had a watersaver head on it so it was like being misted like a plant.... Well maybe the plants even got more water. And the time was limited to 3 minutes, where water had to be turned off between lathering and rinsing.
The ride in was no pleasure either as we rode packed in the back of a big car like a Lincoln that the windows and doors were locked down so the only way was for a person in the front to get out and open the door. This was also terrible for when someone farted (we all got to share that),
This was actually one of the nicer host homes I stayed in.
When I was misbehaving I got stuck at this one where I was staying in a single wide trailer that was cold in the winter. It had cocroaches, and I had an asshole as my oldcomer.
At night at this home I slept on the floor with no padding other than a blanket and my oldcomer would slide his bed against the door.
During my time I was shipped through about 14 different places and at first I allowed myself to try to get close to the host families, but after about number 4 or 5 I gave up. That's when I accepted that I was going to be placed wherever they wanted me....At night I hated when they would announce "Homes" as I was always wondering if my head was next on the block and where I would land.
