It's not a place it's an entire state system. And actually, the kids restraining other kids bit is the only piece that is truly problematic. The rest is actually based on sensible, child-sensitive principles.
The problem is that this system operates in the U.S., where the entire child workforce is shot through with "tough love" ideology. The outcomes from this system are great compared to "business as usual" in juvenile justice-- but what that really shows is just how bad everything else is.
One of the really good aspects of this system is the idea that the kids are supposed to be in centers not far from their homes so that they *can* be in touch with family, etc. That itself minimizes abuse.
Also, apparently, restraints are actually quite rare.
Far from perfect, but getting closer, basically.
