More programs shutting down
Anonymous:
I'll make this as short as sweet as possible...
The true torture of a program is not so much the torture itself, it's the mindfuck that comes with it. It is the very loss of control that does the most damage to a person's psyche, not the captivity per se.
The abuse that takes place in a jail or secure juvenile detention, is different than the abuse that takes place in contract facility, is different than the abuse that takes place in a parent-choice program.
Take physical abuse for example. While you may be more likely to be physically abused in a juvenile detention, at least when you come out and claim that you were abused you're more likely to find someone who will validate that your rights were violated. You may get a "shit happens" response, but at least your reality is validated. In a parent-choice program, the abuse isn't just something that happens, it's something that's supposed to be good for you. And so everywhere you go no one takes your claims of abuse seriously and you begin to think maybe I did deserve the physical and verbal abuse.
As for the distinction itself, it is somewhat important because it effects how you tackle the abuse in each case, and helps to reveal the underlying economics as to why certain practices occur. For instance, contract facilities generally don't advertise on the web because they fill their beds to capacity with state referrals.

PV lost the contract with TN DCS/Juvenile Court sometime in late 2007 due to an undisclosed fuck-up by the program. That's the best I can get from TN DCS. There have been kids placed at PV who were convicted as adults in other states because the parents were wealthy enough to foot the entire tuition. When PV was used as a substitute for jail in Andy Klepper's sentence, the judge described PV like it was Gitmo. In that situation, the familty therapist Jean Bolding refused to deliver a letter from a MD judge demanding Klepper's return. That's how far PV goes to protect rich, private pay patients. Klepper couldn't stay at PV because TN state officials were so disgusted with the baseball bat rapist Klepper that they refused to allow him to stay.

Not only PV has a saying in this case. CEDU seemed to be involved as well (look at the comments):
