Dobson's World (in Brother's Jeb's state)

In the wake of the sadistic lynch-murder of 14-year-old Martin Lee Anderson in a Florida "boot camp", the press there is taking a closer look at just what goes on in these little hell-holes that give good surburban white folks a warm and fuzzy feeling to know they exist. From Minor offenses at camp brought beatings Miami Herald 04/02/06.

The documents - use-of-force reports written by the guards themselves - show that the overwhelming majority of the youths were subjected to "takedowns," hammer-fist blows and "knee strikes" for:

• Being unwilling or unable to perform rigorous exercises.
• Exercising without sufficient "motivation."
• Being "insolent" with guards.
• Speaking without permission.
• "Breathing heavily."
• "Tensing" themselves.

Boys were physically "restrained" for furrowing their brows, mumbling or gritting their teeth. On Christmas Day 2004, one boy was disciplined for smiling. (my emphasis)

What, did they advertise for guards in sadists' magazines? Recuruit from the Marquis de Sade Fan Club?
