Even in the non-extreme cases they are quasi-prisoners. When I worked at Sunset Bay Academy it was common for 13 y/o children sent with just basic behavioral problems to be exposed to things like two students with a foot fetish inserting water bottles up their rear ends or blanket parties.
Also some were actually making hooch using the extra sugared drink that the upper levels have access to in their personal possession.
I will give the full scoop on this place within a month, once a legal matter gets settled.
