Weighed down by the past

Honestly, staff are very abusive here. I was here for a year and a half a couple years ago. Staff were having sexual relationship's with girls, Mr.Vince is a very evil man, he abuses his authority. The food here is amazing and a select few staff are there to really help. Don't send your kids here it will only damage your daughters more. Also the staff lie to parents and social workers and probation officers. If you're a social worker and you want to make or need to make a welfare visit my advice do not let any staff know or they'll make everyone be on there best behavior.

The State Of California made all the youth from California that were placed there come home because of the condition Mingus is. They are abusive and the education is terrible. There are restraints constantly so we cannot talk during an issue meaning we cannot be taught in school. We watched movies 24/7 in class.

The therapist some of them are amazing and the therapy groups helped me so much.

I was at Mingus from August 23rd to October 3rd. I wasn't there for very long because I didn't belong there (DCS Fault). I was on Juniper with 19 other females at first I didn't find it all bad because my staff at the time really cared for me.

Outside of my dorm we got very poor academic help we watched movies 24/5 and currently I didn't get any work or credits and i got failed a whole semester just for missing 2 months of school (I'm in recovery classes at the moment). Leaving Mingus I begun having issues with many females for being so cramped with them and so I isolated myself by working in the cafeteria most of my time being at Mingus but that was my best experience..the cafeteria with Mr.Jose my best friend even though he didn't like when I called him that.

Don't send your kids here
