I was there from 14 to 16. The place was hell. They had 7 south
(agreesissve unit) and 7 north (people with sexual problems i.e. Gay, rapists, child molesters, people whod had been molested all in the same group). The place dosen't care about it's patients instead it views everyone as numbers. They had me on 32 pills a day inculuding 600mg of seroquel and 275 mg of thorazine. The place just dopes you up and leaves you. If you get into a fight (even if your just protecting your self as the won't interfere untill the fight actually begins) they add time unto your stay. YOu had innocent people forced to staythere because other places such as group homes, Juvees, Foster homes were full. Innocent people mixed up with dangerous people and the staff could care less.
