For those that caught the red flags in the @sltrib.com @sltrib article about The Other Side Academy's programs, here's what we feared confirmed.
#Utah should not be supporting this abuse as an official solution to substance abuse and homelessness. Personalized torture shouldn't be the option to leave the generalized torture of the justice system.
People need real help. Not one size fits all (especially not if someone's getting free labor and millions in income).
I donate to the Utah Investigative Journalism Project for in-depth reporting like this and encourage everyone who can does. Thanks to #KUER for the team-up.

Hey, #Utah. How's about a new, government-funded cult, as a treat?
"These group exercises and private corrections resemble tactics used in Synanon, a notorious and controversial drug treatment program seen as one of the first versions of a therapeutic community model. The Other Side Academy leaders don’t claim a tie to that program. But Delancey Street Foundation — where several early Other Side leaders had graduated from — took parts from Synanon’s model, including Synanon’s hallmark 'games.'"
