Youth Services Division

I hade a really nice time there i met new people that hade my back and there was this staff there named Drew and he helped me a lot and he showed me how to be a man so im really thankful about that I miss everyone there like Drew,Dez,herb. I miss yall all I love yall

I was there on multiple occasions and two people who really helped me well three about 15 years ago Scott divine and Scott pinkly as well as Justin my mentor really helped me become a man it took years of prison to realize that they were trying to get it through my head to take need to the real world and to stop thinking everything was supposed to be fun and games I still use a lot of the communication tactics I e been taught. What some see as a stern experience is really just an environment for those who aren't getting it right anywhere else I'd like to see those guys to talk once again

I am nearly 40 years old and it has been over 20 years but I still have nightmares about my time here...When I was here eating seconds or getting condiments were considered privileges. I was sleep deprived for the majority of my time as a punishment...For nearly 6 months I spent every waking moment staring at wall with my hands on my knees in what they called restriction...falling asleep added time ...looking around added time...being sick meant that time didn't count and being in restriction meant saying in longer...I now have career in education and what they called treatment is what we have to report as abuse as mandated reporters

They lack understanding and just give up on you when you really need help they set you up for failure ask anyone who’s been in there besides the brains washed staff...They literally let a staff beat me and didn’t do nothing about it
