  • I feel you Grimshaw. I was there in 86 to 88 and it was the most horrible and terrifying place in the annals of juvenile prison. I saw a guy get murdered. 3 guys picked him up and charged the sleep dormitory door and used him as a battering ram. Snapped his neck. I was one of three white guys on cottage 8. Crazy 8 to the inmates. I was terrified the entire 18 months I was there. Misbehave and the would hold you down and inject you with Thorazine. Shit you could never do now. O pulled 9 months of it in S.T.P. A hell within a hell. 23 and a half lock down. Showers once a week if you were lucky. No haircuts. No interaction with another human. Would be considered cruel and unusual treatment today. I think about the terrifying life I had there almost everyday. It scarred me so deep I still take medication. You have no fucking rights as juvenile. And they tortured you knowing that you had no recourse. I hate the e fucking state for allowing such deplorable and inhumane conditions for children. FUCKING CHILDREN!! I wish a slow and cancerous death upon every employee of "The Ville". May heaven have no mercy on their Gestapo souls. Fucking Nazi concentration camp for the wayward youth is exactly what it was. I give a shout out and I feel your pain to all of you former inmates. May you find some peace of mind from that state sanctioned house of horror. I will never know true peace because of it. Namaste
