There was a documentary on TV recently on one of these girls’ reformatories in England at present,in which they seemed to have all the comforts they want,including computors,except liberty.
But I think it was quite a different story in the past,especially before the 70s.
I’ve seen other documentaries about other countries,especially the USA,where discipline is much harsher in these juvenile centres,where although CP is not used,other forms like humiliation punishments are the order of the day. In one camp(they call them Boot Camps there)it shows girls having to stand at attention for long periods with guards shouting at them in their faces and making them do strenuos physical exercices.
In another boys’ camp it shows the boys having to stand naked for inspection by guards,some of them female.
And the list goes on. But some people don’t know they even exist.
