The freaks who run these programs literally should be beaten to death with rocks.

Friends, what is the song that is the basis for the theme for this series? It's right on the edge of my brain and I can't quite get to it, and it's driving me crazy.

It’s a variant of the TrueAnon theme, which is based on the Twin Peaks theme

I'm very familiar with the Twin Peaks theme, but apparently this one is just far away enough that it's throwing off my ability to recognize it accurately, LOL

Transposed to minor key makes a huge diff

Institutionalised violence. Violence in all its forms. Powerful series xx

When TrueAnon mentioned Midwest Academy I was like “what the organization that trains unions and lefties to do organizing work?”

I grew up in West Marin and a kid I knew went to a teen "rehab" facility in either Montana or Idaho, so this series is hitting real close to home.

I live nearish to the (now abandoned) Élan school. I can’t remember how I learned about it but, after being curious for a while, I went to check the place out this past March. It was really, truly disturbing. The filing cabinets have been wiped clean but seemingly everything else is still there, it looks like everyone left randomly in the middle of the day without taking anything and never came back. Old Apple desktop computers, textbooks, Christmas decorations etc. In the attic of one of the buildings is a small room with just a bath tub and the entire floor is covered with papers. There were hundreds of photocopies of a strange, scratchy drawing that featured a large X in the middle, a hammer with wings that said “I could drop at any time”, a face in the corner with a bubble that said “WE’RE WATCHING” and a couple other things that utilized the strange, cryptic, very cult like terminology that appears everywhere else. There was so much stuff. So many written reports from kids talking about what they’d done wrong, what other people in their work groups had done wrong, etc. The most disturbing stuff, in my opinion, were the pages from legal pads where one kid would write down what another kid was doing either every minute or every couple of minutes. It seems as though this was part of one of the “solitary confinement” style punishments. It was incredibly disturbing to read through. Élan, like seemingly all of the rest of these places, had ties to Maine governmental officials. It’s just all so disgusting. I’m glad that school, at the very least, has been shut down.

elan was a really disturbing place. i broke into all the buildings a few years ago and to my knowledge i was the first person in there since it closed in 2011. i found a bunch of those logbooks too, deeply awful stuff they had those kids doing to each other. i know they used to make kids fight in that big room with the stage and cafeteria windows. that attic is super creepy, when i went in there were these spooky halloween masks all over the place but i think they’ve since been taken as souvenirs.

I'm glad you shared your experience. It was helpful, relatable and terrible and I love you for it

Couple thoughts: Brace, I don’t know how you kept your composure in that voicemail. You’re a stronger person than I. Be proud of yourself. Also, I think that had to have been Patrick’s house. You asked the man if Patrick lived here and he repeatedly said, “I don’t think so”. For whatever reason, it seems like he didn’t have it in him to fully commit to the lie. Anyway, just my two cents. Good on ya for delivering the message as you did. And that line about ‘waking people up late’ was slick as hell.

My good friend from highschool got wrapped up into one of these facilities/compounds. The Stories he has are traumatic and deff the catalyst for his fall into harder drugs later down the line. Thanks for a wonderful production. Well worth my money, should cost more. Cheers to the TrueAnon team.

funny that i am listening to this primarily while bike riding in 5 degree montana winter. yall are keeping me warm as i embark on this journey of winter bike commuting. anyway, this is some truly next level podcasting, seriously in so many ways is this not only incredible investigative journalism, but also perfecting the art of the podcast. such a tragic tale, told so well. i just got off work, told my coworker i was stoked to ride home because i had trueanon to listen to and turns out he listens too! anyway, love it guys, ya'll wonderful.

In NJ/NY in the 1980 we called these "therapeutic communities" There was one my friend went to in upstate NY called "The Family" that made the girls identify as "sluts" and used all the torture tactics described here. I too went to one of these facilities in the early 1980s, a place called "The Campus" in Columbus Ohio. The guy running it looked and acted like Manson. I feel guilt that I was able to talk my way out after 2 weeks.(yes, these programs teach you to lie!) I was then put into "aftercare" for 2 years. These programs are how I was introduced to hard drug users and opiates. The lasting pychological effect it had on me was I didn't trust my own thoughts or motives for decades. They turned me against myself.
