[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 737658, member: 16024"] Hi Sumsky, Not trying to dissuade you, but I once lived in a town with a job corps, and still have friends who live in the area. The place is overrun with drugs, fights, and crime, and the police are there quite often. They commit many burglaries and crimes in that community, as well as against fellow students. The place is out of control and not well supervised. Local ‘men’ would go there to pick up females (or males) with offers of drugs or alcohol. They called it ‘cruising the job corps’. I have a female friend that dropped out of the program after becoming pregnant (many years ago). She told me many horror stories. The young people who go there are generally “difficult kids” just like the ones we come here to talk about. I would visit any program before I would send a child there. Some are probably better than others. The program I am familiar with has 48-hour passes that allow the students to stay off campus over the weekends, but hopefully that doesn’t extend to minors.
