Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide. Provo Canyon School claims to be a youth residential treatment center that helps struggling young people work through their issues and grow with support and specially designed interventions. But in reality, that’s not what it is at all. Instead, Provo Canyon School has become a breeding ground for abuse and downright neglect that has scarred hundreds of kids for the rest of their lives. The horrific stories of the survivors have touched the United States and now, people work diligently to try to get the school shut down, so they can no longer continue to torture the students they claim to be helping.
