I just watched this documentary series. I'm flabbergasted. Truly. Internationally, this is considered crimes against humanity. They use banned torture techniques. The fact this ever existed is insane. The fact the people responsible for this are still walking free makes me sick. The fact that these people are still operating similar facilities is fucking outrageous. What the actual fuck. HOW! Like, how is it possible to operate child torture facilities for years and years without repercussions? I already thought the US incarceration system was fucked up but this is the ultimate dystopian horror.

I was stuffed away in one of these. Just a ton more religious. The hell was just as depicted in the documentary.

I suggest watching it with a Mike's hard lemonade, specifically.

Damn. I'm so sorry to hear. Were you able to deal with it? Recover? Like therapy or something?

I had other experiences causing PTSD. The mental help so far has been a disappointment. Life is a struggle.

I wish you all the best and fuck everyone who did this to you. Like, they should rot in prison at the least.

No, you don't recover from that. I've learned to accept it and grow beyond it, but you don't recover. Still get night rages. Scream and kick myself awake sometimes. It's better though

I was hoping for better, but I expected your answer. Stay strong! At least we know how to be better people.

I truly hope the people responsible will be stopped and held responsible for their horrific actions.
