No doubt there were some wacked out counselors and directors when I was working for Daytop. And yes it is one big money machine. Paul, I'm not against what you're saying, I agree with some of it but times change. When I was there in the 90's it was totally different from the early days of the signs, shaved heads, drinking priviledges, etc., and yes it has a ways to go and my hope is that with the new licensing regulations for the staff, they will purge all the old timers and it will get lots better.
For the community to have 10% to 25% of its men unable to vote or unable to access credit or other privileges of citizenship for the rest of their lives in some states creates a permanently diminished
group within society.

Troll Control:
In the LATE 90's kids were running around with shaved heads and toilet seats around their necks. They wore signs like "I am a dopefiend. Don't believe anything I say. Confront me." around their necks. Most of the staff were active addicts and or alcoholics with no education whatsoever, just a Daytop "diploma."
It was and is pretty much exactly how PSJ describes.
Odie's comments aren't quite accurate.

Do anybody know Sharon Chapman at the Far Rockaway facility? She's off the hook.
