A current flyer from 180 RECON:
DannyB II:
I get it. The child comes from a impoverished environment where violence is prevalent and abuse is handed out like candy. So mom who is all by herself and is finding it extremely difficult to handle her son or daughter under these circumstances, sees this option (180 RECON flyer) as a save all. This wonderful looking older male comes to her door looking like he is a cross between, "Big Brother, Christian Brigades and Force Recon" telling her, how he grew up in the streets bla bla bla and how he can whip her boy or girl into shape. Little does Ma know that when he says whip (he means it) verbally and physically. If Ma does know this well then she is just perpetuating the problem.
Freaking kids never stand a chance. I understand accountability and choices, I also understand that it is not the child's fault for the decisions caretakers made concerning environmental conditions and social conditions.
Just some thoughts. Maybe others with more education in this field can shed some insight.

the programs basic standards.
Modeled after basic military training. We emphasize rigorous physical exercise, regimented activities, strict
supervision and discipline, and military drill and ceremony. Military-style battle dress uniforms and boots are the
standard uniforms for Trainees and Staff. The Trainee's learn basic military courtesy and drill and ceremony.
Expectations of military courtesy and discipline continue throughout the stay of the Trainees Enrollment within 180

Studies show that programs are over 90% effective. This program is a little lower at 85%, but much better than any other form of treatment out there.

Where do you get those figures from, Wh??ter? If I'm not mistaken, "shock incarceration" methods, like those used at boot camps, have actually been shown to be relatively ineffective at reducing recidivism or a return to undesirable behavior...
