Howdy,
What's the benchmark programme like these days?
Does that fat fuck ronnie still work there? I can remember how badly I wanted to belt him right in the mouth when I visited Benchmark.
Well, I left about a year and a half ago after I got the indefinite motel sentence. Luckily, I was able to convince my parents that shelling out thousands of dollars a year to keep me there wasn't worth in the least. I've since joined the Navy and am on way to finding myself a career.
The program itself seems to have toned down quite a bit since Psy's days. Friendship workshops are no more and the program's dormitories have finally moved from state street to a slightly more amenable apartment complex. That having been said, they still employ a variety of very psychologically manipulative practices.
Dirt lists come to mind right off the top of my head. Basically, if somebody in power suspects that that a group of patients are up to no good, the whole student body is forced to sit in a large room in complete silence and write a list detailing things they have done wrong or witnessed other students doing wrong. If the answers aren't satisfactory, a life coach will tell the student to sit back down and keep writing and/or personally conduct an interview where they will attempt to intimidate into admitting wrongdoing. I've personally witnessed a life coach lie to a student in order to obtain information.
There's a whole lot more I could talk about, if anybody has any questions please feel free to ask. Psy, that be great if you could upload those files. I've been dying to read them lol.
