Read the whole article, it'll make you cringe. Summary: Parents of troubled teens sign over their custody rights to a company called Tranquility Bay which kidnaps the teens from their bed in the middle of the night, flies them overseas (without a passport or visa), and locks them up in a prison in Jamaica. At the prison they're subjected to constant observation, beatings, brain washing videos, observation placement where they force you to lay on the ground for hours, crappy food, and group classes where you have to tell all your personal secrets to the rest of the class. The more compliant you are the more points you get. As you accumulate points you progress through the levels and are eventually released. Some teens are there as little as 6 months and some are there for more than 3 years. One girl got sent there just for dating someone her parents didn't like: QUOTE "Lindsay Cohen is nearly 19. A straight-A high-school graduate, she was heading for Harvard until an unsuitable choice of boyfriend had her sent here at the age of 17."

Yeah, this place costs 25k - 40k according to the article.
You can't just say your sister should have been sent there. Now you have to give us all the juicy stuff on why you think she should have been sent there and what "bad stuff" she has done. |

QUOTE When you have a teenager on the rampage, who are you going to turn to? In America, parents send their troubled offspring to Jamaica's Tranquility Bay - a 'behaviour-modification centre' which charges $40,000 a year to 'cure' them. yeah... everybody does this. it's so common we've never heard of it until today. but every dumbass brit who reads that article will think "oh my I can't believe those terrible americans do that to their kids!" |

Now you have to give us all the juicy stuff on why you think she should have been sent there and what "bad stuff" she has done. She's 22, has two kids - both the property of the state of Arkansas atm - with a third on the way, has already been to big girl's jail, and done all kinds of drugs. She's probably going back to jail since she's way behind on child support payments. The early signs were there - disrespectful to everyone, lying, cheating, stealing. This place might've done her some good. Ooops. Forgot high school dropout. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?

I like this system. I think a rougher, meaner system should be extended to criminals.
