I was in Straight for quite some time until I bullshitted my way to second phase and eventually busted out. I was caught once for escaping with a kid named Danny McCarty, anyone remember him? He had a sister in there, too, Jen? I had very long hair at the time, before they cut it all off and cut me behind the ear with the shears. I remember some names but mostly faces. I can recall some names, Peter Burke the rebel, Nathan Britton, Marty Devaney, Glenn Jenkins (who recently committed suicide), Drew Zuik, Jeremy (his dad owned a D'Angelo sub shop), and there was a red haired staff member, Sherri? There was another staff member, Rob. I'm from Leominster, another boy, Jeff Vachon, who was also from Leominster was in Straight. He recently lost his arm in a drunk driving accident. Is there anybody out there who remembers some of these poeple?

Hey, I was there from 89-90. I remember Jen LeBow, Garrett Lahan, I remember a brother and sister in there.. They were blondes.. I wanna say her name was Jessica and his Billy. I don't remember last names so well, but I remember Jeremy and Nathan - brothers who were transferred from the Virginia Straight, Karen, Robin, Cathy Borgeson (5th phase staff) along with Tom Driscoll. Also two other brothers, Kevin and Kenny. Kenny I had heard slit his wrists in group and got sent to a psych hospital. (I say I heard because I was actually on T+R that day and came back right after it happened I guess.
My name's Missy/Melissa by the way. six foot skinny ass blonde LOL

I remember Lori. Long dark hair, upper phaser? can't remember if she made staff or just graduated though.
Missy/Melissa Ganz
I know this thread is old but i also was there between 89-90. I recognize alot of the names mentioned. My name is Pam. You may remember me telling a male staff member to go suck himself in a corner my first week there. I was housed at Danny and Jenny Mccarthy's house as well as others... that place really screwed with my head... I was only there for about 6 months..I feel sorry for those that were there longer...I'll never forget the day my mom pulled me out and how they were telling me that my mom had problems..blah blah blah...and that i should stay..and how much yelling and threats she had to say before getting me out...I remember telling her how gloriously recovered i was and how it helped me so much for fear of being returned there...How ironic the song "free bird" came on the radio and the imense feeling it brought me. What i didnt tell her was how much i dispised her for allowing me to mind rot in that place...and how fricking pissed i was she actually paid for it to happen. Straight kept sending bills and she kept paying even after i was out and what they did and straight even kept my belongings claiming they couldnt find them. She made me continue to write moral inventory's for a couple days before placing me in another girls home for another year... I became quiet..it felt as if i forgot who i was(my personality)...I never even did much drugs when i went in..i explored as a teenager as most have. I never tried any heavy drugs..i basically just started smoking pot when friends had it... I ended up smoking more after these programs...I don't do anything now although i think every once in a blue moon how it would be nice to take a puff. I have alot of anxiety issues now. sore shoulders and back. I think alot stems back to straight. As well as relation ship issues ive had. I remember the how they made me strip down to nothing and do squats in a room with people (kids not much older then me) and when i had my period i was made to sit in it. I remember the flapping of the arms and the knuckles down my back. Being lead like a dog by the back of my pants onto a hard cement floor where i had to sit indian style on a nasty thin rug. Never being allowed to look around or read anything god forbid..asking and telling to do everything..even to pick up a damn fork..Making bogus stories up just to "relate" to people.I could write a damn list..having to hang my hands out of the shower and how i was timed in there.. how many strokes of a hairbrush..how simple we were made to look...people always with me even to take a piss.. Eating crappy food i hated only after i was finished with my moral inventory and being alarmed in a bedroom that was basically empty..I remember praying at night for gods mercy. One house i actually got to read a paragraph or two of a bible. I am not sure why i had this permission but how it filled me with hope to carry on another day...i remember being yelled at alot...how dare i say this or that and i should be ashamed of myself... im a druggie with a druggie past blah blah blah..I remember some of the weird stories i heard in there about some guy blowing himself on a train track and with a vaccumme. Why that needed to be expressed is beyond me. I don't know what the hell that had to do with the "program". I remember people being pinned to the floor ,sat on etc. I remeber that stupid fricken straight song they made us sing..."I am straight..I am an arrow..." Nothing like standing in front of a bunch of strangers and being humilated to brighten my day. Well i guess i'll cut this now before i write a book..im rambling now... Yeah its been about 19 yrs and its about time i tryed to connect or chat with someone who could actually "relate." I also remeber a Lori..does that ring a bell with anyone?
If i knew how to id post a pic of myself around that time...

Wow. That sucks about Pete Burke. His mom used to make the best Chocolate Chip pancakes before we went in to that fuckin slice of hell airplane hanger
to get emotionally blackmailed for 16 hours at a time. I remember every last person in that joint....All the way to the Admin. I WISH I could find
Jason Cultrerra.
Hope everyone stays around long enough to see the poeple who ran that place go to hell.

Being abused in your youth often creates broken people who seek out abusive people in their adulthood. Not to mention, being driven to state of mental derangement creates people who cannot remove themselves from dangerous situations, for various reasons.
Who were they murdered by? Were any of these people truly addicts going into straight?

89-90 Here I think. Did 9 months before I 'copped out'. Been existing.. surviving...dying for 21 years. Did all the right things. Moved on.. got married.. got divorced.. got married again.. procreated... several times. Still have no enthusiasm or desire to live.. but refuse to die. STRAIGHT taught me to love misery. Look how I suffer.. look at ME!
Wish I could score an open Xanax scrip... I'm sure I could cope with life then. I hate the clueless sheeple. If I could burn the world I would.
Crazy? Naw.. I'm the sanest of the bunch.. the rest of the world is fucked. As they say.. just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get ya. Have you drawn your line in the sand?
Ah the senseless chaotic rage. Such a sweet indulgence. But the reality of MY reality is just the same as when I was in the loving program known as STRAIGHT; Keep our head low... stay off the radar and live another day.
Glad to hear so many are doing ok... Especially all the ladies.. you really kept me sane.. just by being you.
