Finally! An Episode Worth Watching!
I get SO FRUSTRATED watching episodes and seeing how rotten these girls are behaving! Even the ones that are days away from leaving, the ones who are SUPPOSED to be "rehabilitated!" They are DISRESPECTFUL, swearing, antagonizing, and getting up in the face of each other, counselors, teachers, even GUARDS! They have NO respect for boundaries, and are CONSTANTLY getting into things that don't belong go them, even things that belong to staff! But the absolute KICKER is that the guards will stand there and tell them to do (or tell to not do) something 5-10 times, and the girls will stand there screaming cuss words & derogatory cuss names at the guards, and the guards just stand there repeating the same request in the same monotone voice, it's the textbook definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different response! These girls have NO structure, NO responsibility for their actions, NO discipline! There are FUNDAMENTAL reasons that the UNITED STATES PRISON SYSTEM was founded upon, and not the least was that any citizen able to be reformed and placed back into the public must be reformed and not a threat to themselves or others. This system is FAILING these girls!!! Even at the exit interview, you don't have to read the room, the officer SAID that the girl has a hot temper and gets in fights a lot! But then she agreed go her release after I think only five months? Yeah, you gave the girl GREAT SKILLS to get by on the outside! The guy that's former USMC OOOHRAH! That they interview so often tried to say they only have a 17% recidivism rate I had to laugh so hard when I heard this! Just based on the first5 episodes alone, you can PLAINLY see that if he's getting 17%, it's only because he's cooking the books and not counting the girls that wind up in prison, or other Juvie Halls, or sadly, dead. These girls AREN'T being punished or getting their brains re-wired so they are able to avoid, and move-on from all of the things that were toxic for them when they go home, and are immersed back in the life, like being kicked out of a helicopter in nothing but your bikini as you're sightseeing icebergs! These girls are WAY over-indulged, they get SO MUCH more of EVERYTHING than people in prison that their sense of entitlement SICKENS me!!! All that money being spent in those personal tablets, the fancy gym & cardio equipment, the super long breaks with the TV and comfy chairs, Arts & Crafts equipment, etc. All that money coming out of OUR taxes, they're ungrateful for it, and if just the money for SOME if those extras could be sent to homeless outreach programs like the one my ex and I started, THAT could change and possibly SAVE lives! We are used to pinching pennies to make silver dollars, so we could make the impact a MUCH bigger one, AND the people WE take care of are so grateful, I've seen a homeless Vet cry over a hot cup of coffee! Hmmm a rotten girl who throws her $800 tablet in the ground until it's dead, OR a Vet crying over a $.25 cup of coffee (we also do soup, donated clothes, food, blankets, pillows, shoes, sack lunches, and we now own an older hotel that we fixed up, and put up as many homeless families as we can until they get back in their feet?) This Juvie Hall is nothing more than a 12 month indoor version of summer camp! As someone who has been training and in college to be a Profiler for the FBI, I find these conditions DEPLORABLE (and not in the Netflix "World's Toughest Prisons kind of way!) But, for the fact that these kids are SO spoiled, and in the end, the only one they're hurting is the future victims, and these girls!
Now the good part. I saw Randall & Chip way back in the mid 90's, at my church and at my High School. At that time they were with a group that I believe was called the Power Team. I got to know Randall pretty well, he's a great guy, VERY inspirational! He helped me a LOT! I hope little girl listened with her ears and BRAIN, because not knowing her situation he still gave her ap powerfully intuitive answer!
