This is what we would call a conflict of interest. Is the priority of the organization to increase their revenue, or to provide descent care for the kids in their custody. In my opinion, the owners and operators of the programs have chosen the first option. How do we know? Because they tell us. Listen to Lichfield's deposition in the TB documentary, he talks about how he studied business in college, he is 'into business'.
They market their services by lying. Using high pressure sales tactics to sell private prison to suburban families over the phone -- kidnapper optional -- they use a parent's worst fear to complete the sale. Hook, line and sinker, it ain't that hard to do.
Sure, they start to believe their own bullshit over time. The fact their business' are doing so well must reinforce that fact in their own minds. It's one thing to believe your own lies, but to have thousands of parents agree with you, and it sets in at a whole new level. They are insane. They are harming thousands of kids, and by they I mean everyone involved from the owner down to the parents who staff seminars, down to the kids who go back to seminars after they left. STOP. You are hurting people, and don't even know it aparently.
They are just another group of fundamentalists, trying to impose their distorted will on the rest of us. It's going to backfire, wait and see.
