Psych system? Is that basically the nut house?

@Punches
I worked for a short time in the IT department at our local juvenile justice detention center for violent teens. Both boys and girls get pretty violent and lash out at the drop of a hat. They told me at the interview I wouldn't be around them - guess what? Yes I was. Most were just dying for some basic respect and attention but their family situations were quite abusive, so they physically strike out at others due to no emotional maturity. Man these kids need help, and right now.

@Punches We don't have "nut houses." This is why mental health is so damned hard.
