[QUOTE="DDD, post: 320038, member: 35"] This is what I know "secondhand" about Job Corps. A number of easy child/difficult children friends attended the program. There are posters on the walls of the Department of Juvenile Justice offices and at the adult probation and parole departments. That is why his friends ended up going. None of them went 5 days a week. All of them went out of town or out of state. Evidently "some" of the sites are better supervised than others. There are sites in Florida that are known for being rough, rough, rough. One friend traveled (and I think JC paid for the bus ticket) to Tenn because it had a reputation of being safe and laidback. He got a certification to be an electricians helper. He either did not want to use that once he returned or it was not helpful in getting a job because he worked fast food etc. back here. Where he was they were not allowed to smoke but on weekends they had total freedom to go wherever they wanted and he used to walk or hitch a ride to a town nearby and enjoy his cigarettes or ?? whatever. Alot, it seems, depends on your child's maturity and exposure. Even more depends on which site you attend. Years ago I looked on the JC web site and found it very informative. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
