Not as harsh maybe as i had it. Many like me too. There used to be bootcamps. Or Borstal regimes here in the UK. Beating were common and discipline from the moment you woke until you slept. I went to one aged just turned 15 years old for stealing a car. First offense gone. I wouldnt go that hard now. But something back then called attendance centre was a place you went just on the weekend if you were or thought you were a bad a$$. They had circuit training with no choices involved but no beatings. These tougher times would shock most young people today. I dont condone Borstal but i do think attendance centres would stop alot more juvenile delinquency. If you do a runner from attendance centre then you get jailed if the crime fits the bill. The "short sharp shock" shook me up for real.
