Youth rights is a subject seldom discussed on RevLeft, I think there should be more of it.

One of the sickest things capitalism has produced is WWASP and similar companies. These companies privately runs prison schools for "defiant" and "troubled" children.

Capitalist and Republicans alike can squabble and yell at us leftists for gulags and similar prison camps, but I would just love to see how their reactions to the product of what their wonderful free market has produced these camps and their free republic has allowed them to exist, more than likely influenced by Christianity, as many of camps are ran by religious fundamentalists.

They may be problems with some of us youths, but killing them and repressing the rights of them is surely no way to solve these problems.

I apologize I can't find links with left-wing or revolutionary views, and the biggest anti-WWASP site's domain expired a few months back.

This poor girl was murdered by the State. She should have got a suspended sentence or a medium term probation, but they locked her up and kept moving her and moving her and moving her, for throwing stupid crab apples. The link in the quote below will take you to more info, video footage and a documentary.




Ashley Smith of Moncton, who died in federal custody in 2007 at age 19, has been chosen by CBC News as New Brunswick's newsmaker of the year.

Ashley was transferred to federal custody after officials in New Brunswick's juvenile detention system decided they couldn't handle her.
She was transferred 17 times during four years in federal prisons, spending many days in isolation shackled and handcuffed.

In January, the Ontario coroner will hold an inquest into Smith's death — and what led up to it. A Corrections Canada report in October said her death was an accident, not a suicide.

Smith, while in isolation, choked herself to death with a piece of cloth while guards at the Grand Valley Institution in Kitchener, Ont., looked on. They had been ordered not to intervene

The ones here in Texas are pretty screwed up too, but I'm not aware if any deaths were reported from them or excessive abuse. But they don't perform their "function" and more often than not it's created a parasitic industry that is only interested in receiving funds than its sugarcoated goals.
