Anonymous:
The worst 8 months of my life was spent at Provo Canyon School. I was doped up, beaten, and abused physically, and mentally. when i hear "dial 9" i freak and still have issues about asking to do everything that drives my wife nuts. worst experience ever and will do whatever i can to close the atrocity
cherish wisdom:
Bob Lichfield and Karr Farnsworth - both founders of WWASP learned their techniques at helping kids at Provo Canyon School. Probably one of the most notoriously brutal programs in the USA. Bob was director of residential living - he dropped out of college (who needs it to help kids?) and started his own network that has made him one of the RICHEST men in Utah.

I'm the girlfriend of a Provo Canyon School survivor and at first I never really took to heart any sarcastic comments from my boyfriend about his experience at this "institution". When he called this place a prison I brushed it off thinking he was being over zealous and dramatic. After reading some of these stories I now know why he is the way he is. He is constantly on guard, paranoid of someone coming to take him away from his family, or hurt/attack him for no reason. He has problems socially interacting with others and with looking people in the eyes. I now know why his confidence and self-esteem is so incredibly low when in fact he is truly a beautiful, amazingly compassionate person with so much potential to give to the world. I can only pray that facilities like this, that demean individuals and completely strip them of theeir human rights are not only shut down, but for those individuals who run them pay the price for what they have done to their victims.

Provo Canyon School should NOT be called a school. My child was not only restricted of his civil rights but fell behind one whole school year in Academics because he was not taught on his school level. My son was in fact drugged and locked in most of the time watching videotapes or climbing rocks all day. Most of the things he did learn was how to curse and how to survive the system.

Unfortunately Provo Canyon School is still going strong and working hard to discredit all who complain of abuse as being manipulative liars.
