When the iRod™ isn't enough

Sometimes, even the best conservative Christian families are damned with a bad seed. You know the kind of boy I'm talking about. They appear to be untrainable in the ways of the Lord. They have no fear of The Rod or its hip new cousin, The iRod™. They've purchased a ticket on the Damnation Express, and they're not getting off until they reach the last stop in Hell.

If you have a boy who fits this description, the Bethel Boy's Academy can help. The Academy, operated by the Bethel Baptist Church of Lucedale, Mississippi, employs a Christian approach based on military discipline to turn these boys around. Here's how their website describes it:

They follow the model set down by The Passion of the Christ.

From the court documents:

15. In fact the Defendants operate what amounts to a private prison, in which minors are subjected to physical and mental tortures that would find no acceptance in any civilized society.

16. Cadets at Bethel Boys Academy are forced to guard, harass, mock, assault, and physically injure other cadets on command. They are not given a meaningful choice concerning whether to commit such acts against other cadets. They are forced to commit violent crimes against other cadets as a matter of survival. The choice is one between doing the beating, or receiving the beating.

35. Defendants routinely pressure cadets to remain at the Academy as staff. In some cases, pre-arranged marriages are carried out, with Defendant performing the marriage ceremony and both cadet and spouse remaining as Bethel Staff Members. Such employees are given a pittance of pay, much less than minimum wage, and are expected to enforce all demands of the Defendants against any cadet in their custody. The employment of such persons is made possible only by Defendants’ brainwashing and routine deprivation of substantial age and intelligence appropriate education which might thereby render the cadet competent and confident to find employment in the outside world.

Update: The Bethel Girl's Academy does fine work as well.
