Abstract

A new Netflix documentary series, The Program: Cons, Cults, and Kidnapping, about the “troubled-teen industry”, is laying bare the way teenagers with so-called behavioural issues are systematically abused and tortured in the US.

The three-part documentary features survivors of the Academy at Ivy Ridge, in New York, speaking up about abuse and uncovering a staggering trail of abandoned records detailing the horrors they endured in the name of “treatment”.
