Hey, I was at RMA in northern Idaho from 1990 to 1993. Read your website and just want to give you a hug. So many people feel how you feel (to some degree I guess, even though we share a similar experience, it's all so deeply personal). I don't think that (my experience anyway) it was as brutal as what you describe on your website (gave me chills) but it was based on the Synanon thing, CEDU/RMA, started by Mel Wasserman, who was a part of Synanon, before he decided he was fit to start the scools for "troubled" children. I'm not sure what you're looking for, but if you have any specific questions, I'd be happy to answer or just to talk.
I think writing that paper will definitely help...make no mistake, it will be b r u t a l, but it will help.
I'd really like to hear how you escaped.
