502. Blue Creek Academy
Yet another religious reform school was in the media for its abusive methods against teenagers. The structure of the school looked very much alike many others. Now where it is closed lawsuits are piling up. Unfortunately a little too late for the boys who endured the alleged abuse.
To make it even worse the manager – pastor James Waldeck – should be involved in a new private prison project in Montana.
Safe to say that it could not have been fun to be there as a teenager.

I attended 2003-2004 when it was still called Joshua Scott Boarding School. It was renamed after but I don’t know when. It was horrible here. I still suffer mental issues due toy stay even though it was 2 decades ago.
