The 1980's was a long time ago. The program you said you were at has been closed a long time. A relic in an industry that has grown and changed, improved and matured. I would share my experience of abuse, or me witnessing it, but I never experienced or witnessed abuse in any way, shape, or form. I was in the program in the decade of the 2000's, so perhaps this is evidence that in the prior two decades programs had changed, and improved. Also when I discuss being at the program with people, nobody uses the term incarcerate, or ever refers to abuse. It is my understanding that most programs today are safe, and that is a great example of why most of the posters here claiming they were abused are from programs in the 1970's and 1980's.
