Were you not treated with respect some of the time? How sad if you boys were treated as someone who should be tormented. Did not someone report their violent discipline/behavior there?

Appreciate the questions and the review.
Comment from Goosey Gander
Thank you for the definition for deep kimchi, it had me... befuddled might be the right word? Anyway, wonderful description! "Before I moved, four hands tightened firm vice-like grips on my shoulders. Pain radiated down my arms and out my fingertips."... This is amazing, no grammatical errors. Thank you for sharing!

Though no cat fancier this cat has a serious attitude and no problem telling their people exactly what they think. This gives the character flair and distinction.
Whoop! There it is.
Comment from Ric Myworld
As heartbreaking as it is at times for those of us who are most sympathetic to young boys in institutions, however nice they are advertised to be, I enjoy every chapter. And I have obtained a great fondness for the main character. Now, I just wish I had a six.

Always look forward to your comments and reviews. Much appreciated.
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This place sounds like an anteroom to hell. So, you were the one who wanted to get away and got caught? It seems to be the kind of place that either made you into a man with bitter memories or turned you into a criminal. I haven't seen any of your previous autobiography, but I hope you became THE MAN.

Comment from Judy Lawless
I didn't listen to much country music when I was young, Brett, so I'm not familiar with the older songs you mention, but they fit well into your world back then.
You've done a great job describing the food and the situation at breakfast in Hermitage Hall. I hope all such facilities aren't like this! I cringe at the thought of eating that food! And now you're once again facing reprimand. I'll be glad when you get out of there for good.
A couple of spags: "the prutrid(putrid) decompositions"
"(I was)Consumed in the middle of a daydream, (when) an announcement broadcasted over the PA system loud enough for a deaf elephant to hear." - the way you've written it implies the announcement was consumed in a daydream :)

You?re most welcome, Brett. My life was pretty dull compared to yours, although I?m sure you would have liked a little less drama. :)

I thought I had reviewed this before, but it is still in my list. Great job as always, and I enjoyed the read. The food you were served sounded disgusting. Have a great afternoon. Shirley

Comment from nancy_e_davis
I wish you had continued this chapter with what happens next. LOL I hope you take that as a compliment. I am anxious to know what happened next. I doubt very much you got by with just a scoulding. I seem to remember one of the cops, raised you. Well done, you did make it clear how miserable that institution was for boys. No love shone there at all. Who monitors those places? Nancy:)

Hello Brett,
What happened in that place sounds criminal to me. I can understand that it can be difficult to work in an establishment with troubled youth, but what the heck are you teaching them by calling them derogatory names and sending the jackboots after them? Have you ever written of your experience to a place like the editorial page of the local newspaper? This kind of criminal activity needs to be exposed and dealt with. Thanks for sharing this harrowing story.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

I'm scared for you, Brett. No lie. My mom instincts are telling me you need a hug and someone to stand up for you. This was a great chapter. You have built up the nail biting suspence in this. I'm afraid to know your fate that awaits in the dungeon. Gretchen
