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
The craziest part was my program advertised how GREAT it was for kids struggling with addiction... Yeah right. It also forced the kids who have never done anything to participate in the addiction programs. Complete joke. And then most kids end up becoming addicts when they leave to cope with it all.
Yeah, kids with addiction is a very, very, very specific thing. Marketing yourself as "oh hey, we also deal with kids that like crack!" is usually a solid sign of "we have no fucking clue what we're doing"
