I lived through two places and am scared to this day from what I seen and heard. I can’t believe I found this page I have been looking for years and didn’t know where to look. I remember the first night I got transferred to tranquility bay from Ivy Ridge. It was one of the scariest nights of my life there was a riot and I watch this Russian girl get her head banged into the metal bars and her tooth was knocked out. She screamed out ” I want my brother.” Then you hear a commotion on the male side said, “My sister”, then there was a whole bunch of commotion on the male side. this was a lot for a young girl to take in. I still have nightmares of the fact that my parents sent me away and my mail was held and didn’t figure it out until I go home but I already had so much resentment towards mt family for not writing and not staying in contact.
