Summary

Caroline Lorson is a survivor of the troubled teen industry. At the age of 14, she was forcibly removed from her home in Southern California by two transporters and was flown across the country to a lockdown behavior modification school in Upstate New York. Caroline stayed at this facility for 29 months and was stripped of all of her human rights and subjected to coercive thought reform techniques. It took Caroline years to recover from her experience and she now actively works to reform the troubled teen industry through the Breaking Code Silence organization and her podcast, Inside the Program. Breaking Code Silence is a movement organized by a network of survivors and activists to raise awareness of the problems in the Troubled Teen Industry, and the need for reform. Caroline shares with Rachel her experience with the behaviour modification school and provides some context for these types of institutions by sharing some of the history behind how they came to prominence. Before You Go: Rachel offers a message to parents who may be considering boarding schools or even behavior modification schools and explains how to ensure the safety of their children Thanks to our newest Patreon supporters: Ellen Mooney Julie Sespico Kicesie Drew Antonio Amaral Braga Theresa Lyn Widmann Help support the show at Patreon.com/indoctrination You can find out more about Caroline's work and further resources here: Inside the Program Podcast: https://anchor.fm/insidetheprogram WWASP Survivors: http://wwaspsurvivors.com/ Breaking Code Silence: https://www.breakingcodesilence.net/ Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

0:24.3	along to their family and friends and also to the people who have left some of the same groups
0:30.2	or some similar kinds of relationships where they think the content will be important to them,
0:40.8	interesting to them, therapeutic for them,
0:51.1	and that's what this is all about. And as you know, I sustain the show pretty much on my own,
0:56.0	which I knew I was getting myself into when I started, but I said yes to getting started anyway. And luckily, though, people have come forward to help partner with me,
1:03.5	and it helps me with some of my costs, certainly not all of them yet. I wish it did, but
1:09.1	thank you, thank you, thank you for the people who
1:12.5	helped me along the way to keep this on the air. And please, please, please go to patreon.com

2:39.8	And today on the show, we have part one of my conversation with a woman named Caroline
2:45.4	Lawson.
2:47.0	I was actually on her podcast inside the program, and it was great for us to talk about a lot about what happens when people get into groups that they think are supposed to be helpful for them or are sent to groups by their families because the families think they're supposed to be helpful to them,
3:07.7	but they turned out to be horrendously abusive.
3:12.0	I had done some podcast interviews towards the beginning of this podcast.
