Dear Lorraine,
Re Piers report about educational boot camps in British Columbia.
I think I know the place he is talking about. Ive been there.Its much tougher than he makes out.
When I was an inmate there we had old U.S. Army fatigues to wear including large hooded fishtail parkas.We had to wear the parkas with the hood up 24/7.
We had heavy labour work details shift logs in thr forest,clearing undergrowth and leveling stones on foresters roads.
Despite what Piers claimed, I was kept in handcuffs most of the time I was there and often leg irons. Often we were chained in chain gangs by a long chain round our left ankles.
We slept out on the ground in the forest.We were given hooded rubber ponchos to wear over our parkas if we slept out.
Our parents or insurance companies were paying a lot of money for us wayward older teenagers to stay at these bootcamps. Do I resent time there ? No - it put me on the straight and narrow and gave me a fetish for army parkas.
