Hi Mike!  

Hello!

Tony:
I wasn't in Straight, I was Kids of El Paso. I was also in jail once but just for a few days.
In retrospect, if given the choice, I would've gladly spent 11 months in jail instead of in Kids. In jail, the biggest enemy is boredom. But at least you have mail, phones, and as many cigarettes as you can smoke. Most importantly, you know when you're getting out.
There were several "clients" in Kids of El Paso, that made the choice eschew jail and go with the rehab thing. All of them regretted it deeply.
I would suggest that anyone who claims that taking troubled teens and subjecting them to brainwashing techniques invented by Pavlov and practiced by the Chinese Communists is a good thing ought to have their heads examined by a real professional therapist.
What these individuals fail to understand is that what Straight and Kids did is ILLEGAL by any standard, and proven to be dangerous.
Yes, languishing in a cell block for almost a year is NOTHING compared to what Kids was. And I still don't think these bootcamps are anywhere near the level of mindfucking that Kids attained in the 80's.

Speaking of Boot Camps. Everytime I see Sally Jesse I want to smack the shit out of her, talk about road rage I have talk show rage!!! This bitch seems like she completely gets HIGH off sending teens to boot camp. I think she is a sadistic nasty clueless braindead moron. She looks so damn gleeful when those kids start getting screamed at I think I would be arrested if I ever went to a live taping. Who does she think she is? She makes her ratings by abusing children on national T.V. and I am guilty for helping her because I end up glued to the T.V. like I am watching a train wreck therefore uping the ratings more. I have not seen Sally in a while probably before 9/11 has the show been pulled or has it been my inabilty to find anytime to watch T.V.? I hope it has been canceled. She is a cruel woman and should be yanked from the airwaves!

ramprato:
Yeah I hear ya,

Sometimes it makes me wonder what (if any) good it would do to email Miss Sally and ask hear when she plans on re-naming her show "The Bootcamp Channel". Her "educated" producers however seem to claim that they can distinguish that it's not OK for cults to use mind control such as Scientology, http://www.lisatrust.net/Media/us-sjr.htm but it's OK to use cult style brainwashing methods on teens at bootcamps, go figure.

FaceKhan:
It is especially apparent when you know that some of the boot camps that have been featured on talk shows were the same ones that had fatalities and were shut down.
