One thing I think we can all be thankful for... a scathing sense of humor. I've been noticing that in a lot of the posts. Am I wrong? We're severely dysfunctional in many differing ways, but I think we all have that. It's something, right?

Home visits? Home visits? That's some kind of mirage in the desert.

There has been no communication whatsoever with any family member other than her parents. Both sides of the family, not even siblings, not her grandmother, no one. Almost 2 years now. Some letters were allowed to be sent, but we later learned none had been given to her. I'm not sure she's been allowed off campus with her parents more than once or twice.

Of course we are told this is all her fault, and that but for her bad behavior (and ours), we would be able to see her.

This makes my blood boil. Want to go on a road trip with me and bust her out of there?

Only if the car can fit 150 people. We can call it the freedom train.

Yeah, yeah, I know you weren't asking me...

Man, I should totally just go up there, say I am alumni, and ask to run an inter-school last light where both NWA and BCA attend. (Alumni would do that when I was there.) Then just get up in front of the house and tell everyone to get the fuck out of there as fast as their little legs will carry them, and hopefully get out enough info before the staff physically drag me from the pit.

The psychedelic 40 grit sandpaper cushions from the pit would do an exorcist style 5150 white jacket containment on you if you try that

You guys sure cheer me up.

The road-trip-with-a-bolt-cutter plan got a lot of discussion early on. Ultimately realized I can't help her much if I get sent up for kidnapping, or if her father sues us into pennilessness.

Castle, you going out there under the ruse of holding a kumbiya moment is actually pretty intriguing.

I've not been able to elaborate on the details here in a public forum, but we have explored and continue to investigate ways to communicate with her, to get her independent legal counsel, or to actually get her out of there. It's terribly complicated really--the bastards have a lot more experience dealing with people like us than we have dealing with people like them--and it requires perseverence to find people who can help beyond offering sympathy, or referring you to someone else. For example, it's hard to find an attorney who has the right stuff: the necessary law background, familiarity with the widespread reports of abuse and death in the programs, and a license to practice in "Imaho" (in the entire history of the State of Idaho there have been fewer than 7000 attorneys who passed the bar there). Plus some backbone and a devious mind, if you get my drift.

But I'm working on it, and welcome your ideas. Your insider perspectives, hard won as they were, have been invaluable to me. I so appreciate the support and encouragement.

Yep, you guessed it, more about raps.

When it was house around the pit time, we were already there. Even if you were straggling in the adjacent dining hall or outside all it took was one reminder to come quick. I never saw anyone blatantly late for anything at BMA.

    The pit was the central focus after our well earned lunch. Lunch, and the bi- weekly scheduled menu was the guide for me on knowing what day it was and how I would be. It was pizza. The single best meal at BMA very signficantly signaled Wednesday. A rap day. I despised Monday's French Dip sandwiches (shout to Castle)  because it meant I had to eat a rap after lunch. The same principle ruined the pizza on Wednesday's, and every meal on a Friday was also tainted with the poison of knowledge that it was a rap day. The apprehension attributed to raps cannot be overstated. Raps were no joke. I felt the poisonous fear, and it contributed greatly to my personal fears about what this nightmarish facility was doing to me. The poison infected the campus audibly in the afternoon on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. An observer walking around campus would be struck by the overwhelming volume and intermittent screams, outbursts of vulgarity, and the more mature voices of the counselor's overseeing it all. The noises that emanated from the rooms of raps adjacent to my own is imprinted on whatever part of my brain that stores sound bytes. It's because I was still new that it all still seemed new.

Pedro held up the final rap list that would become a rap sheet as soon as it hit the hands of the person facilitating that days rap. and repeated the process, even doling out an unusual compliment to one of the upper schoolers who'd be in that rap. Was that a code for him to be pseudo staff? Having a dangerous upper schooler in your rap could be as bad as having a rap with a power staffer. I still couldn't understand everything and I noticed changes occuring in myself while this novelty of the place wore off.

Building on Che and Psy's picket-the-facility approach, you could stand out there on a M-W-F morning with a sign saying "Never attend another rap!/Free bus ticket anywhere in the US."

Sadly, I hasten to add that I've been advised that any complicity in removing a student from campus could get you in deep legal trouble, so I'm not advoacting that.

It pains me to hear you talk about how much you dreaded the raps and how central they were to the brainwashing. I wish I could turn back the clock and give you all the gift of a normal childhood (even though most "normal" childhoods are somewhat screwed up and traumatic).

my experience still haunts me too. Welcome, new news is on the way, I can't wait to share it all with you, The project is evolving quite a bit.

It's very hard to capture the less solid nuances of what went on, and most importantly for us, how it was done.
