This has no actual real theory behind it, but I was just thinking how cool it'd be if prison abolitionists brought in therapeutic boarding schools into their movement too. I was rather "liberal" most of my adolescence but when I was in one of these fucked up places, I remember thinking "Wow prisons should never have existed" because it felt like that -- a prison. Going back, that's probably one of the few experiences that made me realize how fucked the system is.
Idk I just think it'd be a wonderful collab of two movements and their goals fit so well together.
Also idk where to put this with main is gone so since c/cth is the new main yall can deal with it
Oh yeah, pure absolute torture sometimes. I knew someone who had been there since they were 13 and then left at 18, no real world experience at all, having been put in isolation for weeks on-end. Lots of just "sit here and stare at the wall all day to prove you have self-control." It's truly hell. Like it's no SURPRISE such a system exists, but I can't believe it's taken until Paris Hilton spoke out for people to even know these places exist.
I had zero clue these places existed until someone on here posted the Joe versus the Elan School webcomic, which everyone should go read. Like I said, there's prisons out there that a more humane than these "schools".
I went to a place similar. See my comment in this post below. Vile places.
Same. It is really bad.
