I was here in 1/13/25-8/4/25 with a level 4 I did good but there were a lot of weird kids there in the Trinity unit except for 4 kids out of 10 and some kids try to bring your level down all the way to a 1 and being a level 1 sucks but there were good staff like Rick Houston, Bruce Nichols, Shawn donihoo and clement omoh, have staff activities were awesome like a trip to a rangers game for example and a Baylor bears game but the reason I gave it a 3 star is because just too many code whites,ert,yellows or crises in general

I was in the anger management unit in 96-97......it was like a prison for kids. At least back then it was. Not sure how things are now.

The staff was very rude and disrespectful to the kids and they would write you up for the pettiest things. I remember I got sexually assaulted by another boy there in the middle of the night and the staff did nothing except laugh and tell me to shut up. This is not a rehabilitation place, it i... read more
