414. Copper Hills Youth Center

Copper Hills Youth Center formerly known as Rivendell Psychiatric Center was in the media due to a riot. It seems that there simply were too few employees and no management other than those who were necessary to cash in from parents and officials.

Earlier the facility under the old name was known for its experiences trying to convert journalist Lyn Duff from having interest in the same sex. The movie “But I’m a Cheerleader” is based on her experiences.

It cannot be fun to be there as a teenager.
