Eckers camps and long term effects.

GregFL:
Jack Eckerd, founder of Eckerd Drugs, was a St Petersburg resident and staunch supporter of the Seed St pete.  He also had his own "program" that reportedly, mixed with a wilderness and camp profile, also used some of the 'rap' and confrontation techniques.

I cross posted this on the teen help industry forum, but take a look at this...



Lets see, 12 year old boy gets caught shoplifting bubble gum in 1968 and the judge sentences him to camp "E-How-Kee", the first Jack Eckerd juvenile camp that reportedly used synanon techniques and has had bad press thru the years.


So, the now 51 year old aids patient returns for a visit and surprise, surprise, the former 12 year old bubble gum thief has this to say....

"If it weren't for Jack Eckerd, I'd be dead or in prison," Davids said. "I wouldn't be here."

The power of these places to instill pre-program worthlessness into people is strong indeed.

Just.

Unreal.

GregFL:
Oh yeah, not to mention he stayed at Eckerd's 'rehab' for 13 MONTHS for stealing gum at 12 years old.


I just can't believe that , 40 years later, he cannot rationally see that he got a major screw job by the system.

Dead or in jail because he stole gum at 12 years old?

Where or where have we heard this logic and reasoning before?

Anonymous:
Well, I just crossed Eckerd's off my list.


It is unreal.  But I would have had to go to a program to believe it.  There is a lot of fear/ignorance out there.

I think I'll drop her a line and see how she and her daughter are doing.

Wasn't Jack Eckerd the Republican candidate for FL governor in '78, running against Bob Graham? (He lost miserably as I recall. Those were more enlightened days!)
