there are strong similarities.....both are controlled environments...with strict rules.....just about anybody is cult material....but i do believe people in juvenile corrections places and cults having a correlation in that a person who is always watched and told what to do.....may be more likely to be sucked in by a cult....because of being so used to a controlled environment.....and wanting to fit in and being needed cults seek out the saddend people and hurt them even more...i see you have a strong aura ...this is good...you are not easily taken or fooled...so the cults and correction facilites.....you are safe from...but you are right ..they are alike in that both environments are rigid and controlled.

There was a juvenile facility in the '80's called The Abraxas Institute. The guy leading it was into cults and he did a number on all of the kids who passed through there. Eventually, he was indicted on charges of murder and put away himself. It wouldn't surprise me if all of them had some tin god in charge doing the same thing. We don't seem to be interested very much in the juvenile correction facilities - and we should be.

Cult material???? Juvenile corrections facilities do the best they are allowed to expose their "residency" to a disciplined life of STRUCTURE--something they evidently didn't get from their slack-bag morally/mentally dysfunctional parents or family.
With any success, the structured enviroment of a juvenile facility exposed to the delinquent will set him / her straight--where they AVOID a life of crime, drug addiction , prison and ultimately ( in many REAL cases ) death.
It's a faint hope, but something has to be done before a kid falls too deep into crime and/or drugs and either gets locked up for 40 years or dies.

probably no more risk of that than there is of being programmed to see all obeying of authority as 'crap' -- which is a different kind of cult.
