  1. Wow. My brother went to the Boy’s School in the 70’s. Later he was sentenced to 10 years in the State Farm. He actually came out of the Farm a fairly decent human being. Unfortunately that didn’t last, he couldn’t live on the outside, he needed the structure and rules. With freedom he went back to drugs and alcohol. He died a few years ago. These are not easy places to work.
