Good Morning Mr. Terrell, I am a former student of Escuela Caribe, from 2003-2004. While there I personally saw things that still anger me to this day. ie forcing a teen with a severe food issue to eat so much food, he would lose bowel control, and then degrade him for it. Kids sent there just because they were gay, and worst of all in my opinion, tell kids they were going to hell because they hadn't accepted Christ and had no desire to be Christians. Do you condone these actions? and what have you done to change the culture down there? Also are you still using the draconian point system that is just another form of what communist regimes look like? All it did was create a system of people playing the systems game, and turning on each other to get that extra point. I currently work in Intelligence and this is exactly how North Korea is run. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I was transferred from a desert wilderness program in Utah via paid transporters, who lied to me, and threatened to cuff and boot me if I resisted in any way. They told me I was going to Miami first, and when we landed in Miami, said we were going to Dominican Republic, but I could leave when I turned 18. Kicker is, I had 3 weeks till I turned 18, so I said what the hell why not. When I got there I was informed since it wasn't US Soil they could keep me indeff.

But do you still use the point system? And will there ever be a public apology, or public reprimand for past administrations wrong doings, specifically stating the wrong actions, and steps taken to correct those?

Also, I just read your websites response. Do you know if anyone from the past administration will face any consequences, such as Redwine, Webster, Grant, or any of the many associated with the past program?

Yeah, I know Jeff Seabrook, he was my counselor while I was there. I am connected with a lot of people on Facebook still to this day. I have had some staff members apologize to me for the way things were ran. I am just confused why the past program, or even the new program have never posted an official apology or publicly admitted wrong doings, and steps they will make to change. And the argument that its far from perfect but wayyy better is me saying racism in America is far from perfect but way better than it was in the past. Even a little bit is wrong and cannot be truly justified.
