any facility like this hardens you. Its no difference then Rikers. Its not so much the facility and building itself then the atmosphere and people inside it. First time minor offenders mixed in with guys whos been there 7 or 8 times. Just like in prison. You have a young man thats in there on a 1-3 year bid mixed in with older men whos in there for life. You cant do too much to change those kinda situations but to avoid them in the first place. Either that or take it as a lesson learned.

I was in spoford in 1995 then got sentence to Ella McQueen and later sent to industry scool for boys! It was not fun but I did the crime and the time! Shut it down but figure out a way to keep the kids off the streets doin the stupid shit we all grew up doin!

They got me locked in Spofford, the li'l juvenile criminal

Two kids approach to put blades to my throat

They like my coat and ask me what I'm gonna do for that

Give it up? Huh, you don't believe that

So I threw on my hood, pulled out the banger

Swung it at the kids, that put me in danger

They put away them blades and said

"Why it gotta be like that?"

'Cause you get a little ox, and don't know how to act
