Hey rjm2013! Good to see you on here! So glad to see things going well for you :)

When we were there nobody did...there were stories in the past of people trying to escape, but the punishments for getting caught were STIFF. Hair shaved, solitary confinement, corporal punishments...you weren't allowed to speak to other students, had to ask permission to enter and exit any room, to sit down, to eat, etc. You essentially became an abused unperson if you were caught trying to escape.

Uh, alonelyargonaut, I'm not sure you're aware, but Kate has never seen the Nic Cage "Wicker Man". I begged her to watch the "Not The Bees" scene. I will educate her forthwith.

As the post-production coordinator of this doc and at the risk of starting a nerd fight on this AMA, I will say that the tornado part was pretty friggin' dumb. But I thought the film did a good job of making it clear that Zod would never, ever stop trying to kill every human on earth, and there was literally nothing on Earth that could hold him besides Superman. I think his choice was justified by the circumstances, and he clearly looked full of remorse.

Post-production coordinator of the doc here. I actually never even knew the "troubled teen" industry existed before working on this doc. But it and the camps it spawns are a billion-dollar industry...the problem is much wider-ranging and more insidious than I ever imagined. Kids die at these camps, either due to neglect or active malice, and untold others are changed and traumatized forever.
