You may investigate by asking around in this myspace group
According to the postings they do have levels and they have made the more strict along the way. They have moved the program but they have a transition house on the old campus, which explains why they are talking about an east and a west campus.

From reading through what the girls say on the myspace group, this one appears to be fairly harmless, but it bears some watching as they all do because sometimes they start for the right reasons and then greed takes over and pretty soon they are just another moneygrubbing torture pit.

Promise a lot but in the end they don't live up to their "highly ethical", "we'll REALLY work with you" P.R. Very good at expecting the girls to act responsibly but man if they think you're too much trouble and unlikable don't plan on them helping transition you or letting your parents make arrangements. It's like, get out and get out now. And it's funny how 2 people can have the same behaviors but only one of them is considered not working the program. Your reports look good and are positive for months and then, in one fell swoop, they unload all sorts of C*** in one to justify their decisions. Strangely enuf it never comes up in therapy either. Jeff talks a great sales pitch but he's not very good at practicing what her preaches and Kristi is like Darth Vader--the staff quakes in fear around her and she is probably the final decision maker on most stuff. Unfortunately, if she's not around nothing gets done like even doctor's appt. Someone should send her to a basic management principles class. But then, Uinta's not creepy or harsh and the staff is generally good. They let the girls do a lot more than other places and don't make you feel singled out and worthless and it's not really punitive. In the end the head guys were just disappointing as people. I guess I did learn something there.

I have googled them and found our own Fornits Wiki page about the place. The only odd thing is that they urge the families to live like they are on the facility when their child is on homevisit.

Tinktonk, looks like your still trying to find yourself and still want to blame. I know for a fact that this program scholorships many girl and their families. I also know that sometime parents have to take the girls out abruptly for a myriad of reasons. I'm so thankful that the program staff are keeping ALL of the girls there safe by removing those that are aggressive and disruptive. It's not any programs responsibility to make you change, only provide the opportunity to do so. The irony here is it appears you were one of those that had to leave, didn't want to be there, but want to blame the program and people for that. Where's the personal responsibility.
