These are the accounts of students attending Freedom Village, the self-proclaimed premiere home for troubled teens. Shielded from the scrutiny of the public by its seclusion in a sparsely populated region nearby Rochester New York, it maintained its reputation and relationships with conservative fundamentalist religious organizations and operated as a state-sanctioned method of behavioral therapy. What is the long term aftermath for the thousands who passed through these doors? And what can these stories tell us about the multi-billion dollar troubled teen industry?

How Do You Become Institutionalized?

Margaret, Maggie, and Boy Wonder travel upstate to interview young survivors of Freedom Village who report on its final years of operation. Patterns of abuse and coercive behavioral modification provide a platform to understand institutionalization. The survivors reveal their individual experiences with violence, racism, medical neglect, and suicidal feelings in the treatment center.
