I know exactly what this facility is about. I had a stepson in one a while back, though not here. These facilities are behavioral treatment facilities geared toward molding kids with behavioral problems that are on the edge of being criminal. There is serious one-on-one counseling and monitoring of these kids activities. They lock them down because they will tend to run away rather than endure treatment. It is doubtful they would escape to hurt any nearby residents, they just want out of there. Most of these types of treatments are court mandated where the court sees that certain kids on the wrong track has a last chance here with counseling, otherwise they are destined for a criminal life with certain prison time. This treatment didn't do my stepson any good as he still wound up a double felon by age 20 and it eventually cost me my marriage, but some of the results are excellent and some of these kids turn around. To have just one succeed is worth it. There is little to no risk involved for residents that live nearby.
