Well I have been counting thru my restraint logs.. so far 98 restraints in less than a 6 month period... BASTARDS....
You're telling me that you were restrained 98 times in less then a six month period? I can't even begin to imagine what that was like (if there were no repeats in those logs you're going through)?
I'm not calling you a liar. However, in my 4 years of being in programs I never saw a certain person, or individual being restrained that many times, not even halfway close. I was restrained about 10 times over a 4 year/4 different program stay, and I was one of the worse kids there. I don't know much about PV though. If that is the case, why did they keep you in this program, and not toss you out? I'm assuming when you are talking restraints, you are talking about full blown take downs, right?
Any, and all of the programs I was personally in would have tossed me out if I were to have behaved that badly. They just wouldn't have tolerated having me be such a negative influence on all the kids around me. Not only that, but it's tough on staff emotionally as well as physically to do that many take downs.
Wow, 98?!! Over 6 months? That's mind blowing. I didn't know PV to be so restraint happy?????
I have mapped a lot of programs, but none....NONE combine restraints in such a both clinical and cynical way.
WWASP are bastards, but at least the common staff on the facilities does not pretend to be otherwise. They don't wear suits, when they leave work and appear in public.
According to their video, it is about to learn the children to be patients.
As a boy I got meningitis and was held in total isolation for 14 days. The only visits I got was my parents and they had to wear masks. I had such a fever that they were able to do a lumbar puncture without me complaining. Being a patient is nothing you can learn, it is a title you earn when you are ill.
I have investigated if we have such a facility in Denmark and yes we do. In order to be admitted you have to kill a person in a very brutal way and while you are at, kill two or three just to be sure that you doesn't get the 12-16 year per murder, but life (In Denmark life means life on paper only. You are released when all the doctors agree that you only can chew melted butter or but also if they feel that you are no danger to the society anymore. The longest prisontime served since WWII is 33 years and it was for murdering 4 unarmed cops and they were served in a normal prison. Just a year ago the authorities released a former doctor who traveled 100 kilometers where she killed the wife of her lover and burned down the down with two children who also died. She ended up serving about 10-11 years. So the crime has to be worse than that.).
I found an article about the place. A person has isolated himself for 10 years in his room because he is afraid that the staff will steal his thoughts. For 10 year they have tried to speak to him but he tries to strangle people if they stay alone in his room so this is their only case where they feel that they have failed - so far.
The article mentions another case. A man had stabbed a person and had chopped his victim up. He arrived in a suit similar to the posey the children at PV are restrained in. But within a week they could let him walk without danger among the other patients.
A stay can be a short as 18 months, but the normal stay is 7 years.
This unit is the only one of its kind in Denmark and they can detain 50 patients. The name is "The security" because it is the only place none has ever escaped from since it was founded in 1918.
But not even this unit has that many restraints as PV can achieve. Patients arrive in restraints and are kept the first 24-48 hours in restraints, but within a week the doctors has diagnosed the inmate and 90 percent are able to live in the facility among the other patients. They say that they are experts in seeing a built-up of an aggression so they can avoid the use of restraints.
I was in disbelief when I learned about PV. While I can understand the use of restraints for a short period if the staff is attacked with a weapon, I can't understand it used as a strategy for treatment especially when the teenagers who are entering the facility are not even diagnosed yet. At PV they are supposed to diagnose themselves in group and invidual therapy by giving the staffmembers confessions.
Why are they restraining in such a unheard way? Maybe if a staffmember could get on here and tell why?
