There are some people who are,

I was a rough and tumble little fucker.

Right.

All right.

Like to me, it's just another thing.

And I ended up going into the system afterwards.

I'll tell you that story.

Like, but so, you know, I have resolved the issues I had with that place because I know that there, I know now there's way worse options, you know, like it wasn't that bad when I went to bootcamp in Pinellas County, I was wishing I could go back to Jamaica.

I would have stole a boat and sail back and lock myself back up in that prison to get the out.

Like, so, um,

But the reason I also say that they're trying to keep you down there is like the merit system, there's the schoolwork, and then there's the program.

You got to work the program.

You got to earn merit points.

You got to climb the levels.

You got to go to these seminars, which are like some people would call them brainwashing sessions.

But again, there's good stuff in there.

I think a lot of people call it brainwashing sessions because you were almost – they talk about this in the documentary.

You're almost expected –

to make your story sound more extreme to the seminar, like moderator or whatever the person given the seminar, because it's like, they'll tell like, they'll ask you like, what are you in here for?

And some kids are just in there for like being disobedient and, um, and smoking and skipping school.
