Memphis Youth Academy

i went here as a 16 year old. i was a very bad kid at the time and they treated me for my issues with anger. i was there for 8 months only. really military strict you can escape but u cant really .staff members come and go you gotta be able to handle teens boys they are tricky maniplative, con artist and they will attack each other even a staff member depending on the situation so u have to be trained and prepared. i feel like the place did help me because i actualy hadnt been jailed since and im now 28 so it depends it just made me look at life like hey this is the last chance no more kiddy jail after this so i knew i would be grown and next time i went to jail it be in the adult jail so i change my life and got it together. i never been to another facility but this is like a boot camp for bad boys. some boys i went there with are dead or in jail i have only seen a couple of the people i was in there with to todays date i actually kept up with some of my peers thru social media news etc
