Those children's concentration camps have a cult-like hierarchical power structure:
The leader becomes the unquestionable guru whose word is law, an arrogant Pharaoh surveying his kingdom.
The staff become the inner circle of followers, sycophants who toady up to the leader, and then turn around and act like insufferable little martinets towards the children over whom they have power.
Sometimes a third concentric ring of power develops, where some of the most senior of the children -- the "old-comers" -- become bullying slave-drivers for the staff, carrying out the orders of those above them, and abusing the smaller children below them. (That was the case at the Buffalo Soldiers' camp. When Anthony Haynes died, he was actually under the direct command of a 17-year-old boy whose name the sheriff did not release. See below.)
Then those camps usually teach some kind of fascist dogma or philosophy which is supposed to reform the kids. All of the dogma is unquestionably correct, of course, because the guru is never wrong. And all of the usual brainwashing and indoctrination techniques are used, of course. In 1974, the US Senate published a study which accused The Seed (the Straight precursor) of using methods which it likened to Communist brainwashing techniques.
Other forms of behavior modification techniques employ intensive "encounter sessions" in which individuals are required to participate in group therapy discussions where intensive pressure is often placed on the individuals to accept the attitudes of the group... Once the individual is submissive, his personality can begin to be reformed around attitudes determined by the program director to be acceptable. Similar to the highly refined "brainwashing" techniques employed by the North Koreans in the early nineteen fifties, the method is used in the treatment of drug abusers... "The Seed", a drug abuse treatment program in Florida that, until recently, received funding from the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, is based on a similar philosophy.
