What are the special control units (solitary confinement) like at Catalina Mountain School in Tucson, Arizona?

Question

I am interested in talking with/or getting personal experiences from anyone who has had experience at the Catalina Mountain School for boys (parents, youth, staff). I am specifically interested in the use of the special control units (solitary confinement). I am just gathering information now, and am looking at which youth are in confinment and how they are treated; is here a grievance process for complaints? How is mental health issues/suicide prevention addressed? What types of offenses do the boys that are confined typically have? (Nonviolent?) How do the staff treat the boys/boys treat the staff? Are there any human rights violations that take place?

Is this a college thesis?
