  • (8/8)(start at #1/1 below) for all of you former AIR students and that things go the best they possible can for you in your lives.

    -Lindsey Laurent

    AIR Failed Robot 04-05

  • (7 of 8)(start at #1)that I can be a successful woman & my past doesn't matter. I'm off of the drugs, away from bad people, working on my depression, & living my life to the fullest (in a good way). I will never, ever, send my future children to a place like that no matter how much trouble they cause. Every child has their problems & I know that from experience. Someday all of us will be able to tell our kids about our experiences, maybe it'll help them realize certain things.I hope the best

  • bullshit rules. I wanted to look at the boys! Hell, I was a 17 year old girl who was locked up in a "behavior modification program," what do you expect? And looking out the windows? Good fucking God. If they don't want you to look out them, cover them. This so-called "school" made me want to rebel even more- I knew I was out & on my own, could do what I wanted & there wasn't any "mr." or "Ms." to control me anymore... this has gone on for years and finally, nearly 7 years later, I'm realizing

  • (4/5)(More to say, start below at #1)tried killing myself numerous times, actually just got out of the hospital a few weeks ago for overdosing on pills. If I would have been found 5 minutes later I would have been dead. Pretty much, what I'm trying to say is, AIR was a horrible place and deserved to be shut down. 7 months was too long for me-1 day would be too long-1 minute would be too long-1 secong even. I was level 1 the whole time, stayed that way because I didn't believe in any of their

  • (3 of 4) (I had more to say than I thought) speak unless spoken to, etc. When I got home I ended up graduating late b/c they fucked up my credits & the school I went to wouldn't except them-if it wasn't for the school working w/me, I probably wouldn't have graduated at all. After getting out, pure trouble. I believe it did more bad for me then good. Got into more drugs then I already was before, started drinking heavier, got involved w/even worse people, extreme depression, panic attics, have

  • (2 of 3)Thank fucking God for my moms side of the family (she'd died 12/7/03 forcing me to live w/him) for they were waiting there for me airplane ticket & all. The point of my story is that while I was there nothing helped. It was bullshit. Yelling, I was in intervention or study hall the whole time, bad food, restraining, stupid seminars having to listen to Kenny G & Michael Bolton where I learned NOTHING, bad food, couldn't look out windows, look at boys, had to walk in strait lines, couldn't

  • (1 of 3) Man, I was forced into this hellhole years ago- 9/18/04-4/10/05 (approximately 7 months) which isn't nearly as long as some of you, but still pure hell. Sure, I'll admit that I wasn't the best kid but NO ONE deserves to live in an environment like that. The second I woke up on my birthday on April 10, 2005, I was out of there. Both my father and stepmother whom I no longer speak to gave the option to either stay and "graduate the program" or leave with $20 in my pocket & nothing else.

  • was anyone there when i escaped in 07? lol brian duffy, dan street, jake putnam, matt dually. fuck that place to the fullest extent! ran right thru finlinsons back yard and didnt know until after! sure sounds like that finlinson is still sucking dick and taking it deep

  • @bduffy424 you ran thru finlinson's back yard and didnt know it until after? i'd have been pissed "like damn i coulda fucked his house up"

  • jason you will suffer for your sins for all the lives you ruined. to all the parents thinking about sending there kid off to get "fixed" you will loose your child forever i went to ivy ridge in 04 for nine months i cant evin begin to express the emotional physical and mental abuse from getting stabbed in my sleep to watching kids get rapped in the shower, switching are outgoing and incoming mail, mind controll evin getting beat by the guards in a no camera room these types of schoolsarecurrupted

  • Does anyone remember the riot??

  • this is tom f. i was the youngest one there i was 13 at the time @blockworkable i still talk to anne marie

  • FUCK AIR!!! Im GLAD they finally shut it down!!! This video is a complete crock of shit, but it was hell up there!!! Bucnha inbred fuckin meth tweakers!!! Ughhh... too much to say to put in this little comment box... Guess the first few sentences pretty much covered it... Anyway... contact info:

    Nick Iliff

    Freedom Fam

    10/02-7/03

    hit me up....

  • @poundinthastreets This video is a complete crock of greatness.

  • i went there back in 2002-03 in the freedom family any go back then????

  • @tank31289 I was in freedom in 02-03.... who is this???

  • @tank31289 yea.... freedom family 11/02-5/03....andy b....ann marie was our counselor...whose this?

    

  • was the place fucked up beyond belief? yes. but most of the students aren't dead. whoever made this shit is an idiot. you didnt go to ivy ridge, right? than what the fuck gives you the right to make a video about this, you fucking idiot.

  • @xxafijrxx You mad bro??

  • kicked me outta the hosue anyway when i got home.

    O and GORDON is a FAG. That son of a bitch ratted me and dave lee and russel out. If he sees this, YOUR SKINNY FAG.

    One last thing when did alicia die? She was cool and i graduted with her. if someone knows please e-mail me.

  • Hey I was there for 2 years graduated. I never snitched but man did I get brainwashed at a certain point. I dont think it was a great experience, the people were inbreed dumb fucks, finlinson was crazy, they lied to preants to keep us there and treated us like shit. I hated it but it help make me who am i today. i dotn know if thats good or bad. It sure as heell made me feel foreign to my own family. I went there went i was 14 left when i was 16, and you know what i graduated and my parents

  • @deevarp all the stuff your saying in the comment about "your not sure if its good or bad" if you have to think about it... its bad. Brainwashing and treating kids like crap is not good in any way. It's not crazy though... you couldn't make a horrible jail, call it a school, lie to parents, and brainwash kids if you're crazy... its not insanity... its greed! It sucks to know finlinson made a ton of cash by taking advantage of troubled kids and worried families...

  • I guess certain people think that with nasty words would make them right, continue with your life, don't let anything hold you back. If being there got you worse get the help you need, psychological o psychiatric, leave the past in the past and go on.

  • @EERL4 You need to think about what you're commenting about before you actually leave the comment. You said "If being there got you worse get the help you need".

    Nothing is wrong with any of these kids, their parents were just brainwashed into thinking there is so that the owners of these facilities can make a quick buck.

  • Comment removed

  • dude, ive heard really awful things about this school from a person very close to me. I really understand your comment and truly feel awful for you. no one understands what you went through, its hard for poeple to imagine it, and people are ignorant and think that places like this could not possiblt exist in a civilised country, but some of us know that it can. Ive heard about the ways they restrain you, and the child abuse, it just isnt right. no human being should be put through that misery.

  • yyyeah fuck Ivy Ridge, met some cool as people though. i was there in '02 or '03. I was in the Courage and Freedom fam. Kyle Card.. get @ me

  • @k730 thats when i was there i was in freedom

  • I hate this school.. It ruined my summer and turned my dreams into nightmares.

  • YO FUKK THAT ACADAMEY I NEVER WANT TO GO BAK THERE EVAA AGAIN I ONLY SEE THIS PLACE IN MY FUKING NIGHTMARESS EVERY TIME I EAT A BOWL OF FUKING CERAL I THINK OF THIS PLACE AND HOW I ONLY GOT SOME CEREL WITH NO SUGER I KNO ITS THE LITTLE THINGS IN THERE THAT WILL PISS U OFF AND @EERLL4 U NEVA BEEN THERE THATS Y U TALKING ALL THAT BULL SHYT YR PUSSI ASS WOULDNT LAST A MONTH THERE WITHOUT GOING CRAZYY SO DNT TALK IF U DNT KNO WAT HAPPENED THERE BITCHH

  • @killanikkaod Thanks for the comment man... and sorry about what happened to you.

  • I wish I could forget this place....

  • Comment removed

  • don't blame the school or someone else for your acts. Take responsibility for your actions, I'll bet you didn't like being there but were your actions what got you there.

  • @EERL4 Who are you even talking to? No one's blaming the school for their actions.. randomly assuming that just makes you look like a dumb fuck.

    If you were talking to me, then here's my response:

    You are a retarded fag and you clearly didn't even glance below this video at the part that says "I am not now nor have I ever been jailed in this so called "Academy"". You are clearly one of the most retarded people on youtube.

    If not... then I guess I take that back.

  • @EERL4 I can see you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what your talking about...

  • @EERL4 ...but does the punishment fit the 'crime'? is (whatever s/he did to get sent there) warrant psychological trauma? mental, emotional, and verbal abuse? forced participation in bizzare seminars which 'teaches' questionable beliefs (such as "there is no right and wrong, there is no good and evil")?? complete severing of ALL communication with parents and family? complete isolation from ALL contact with the greater society? I could go on...but I think I have said enough.

  • A very fitting parody.

  • Comment removed

  • I want to see the actual interview with alicia drake in it, where did you find it?

  • @rastachez This was like an advertisement video or something

  • My brother went to this place for three months and he told me it is the most corrupt place he's ever been to. Beatings, extreme force, outrageous policies.

    He said there was a administrator that did cavity searches on some boys for no reason.

    Also, student letters were read before there were sent and if they contained writing about the corrupt administration they were thrown out.

  • @Thonnoy Yup... but will the corrupt bastards ever pay for what they did? Most likely not. Also I hope the parents who sent their kids to this hell-hole realize that it was the worst mistake they ever could have made. Kids go in with minor problems and come out 10x as fucked up.

  • I was sent here it is a terrible place to be. A kid in my family was so badly abused his collar bone was broken in several places. They said it was a high school football injury because his file said he was on the football team... what they didn't know was he was the team manager! FUCK THIS SCHOOL

  • @sadiepup420 Most people agree with you... they're basically scamming parents then mentally and physically abusing their children. Cold world huh?

  • @sadiepup420 Yes, I agree - "FUCK THIS SCHOOL"

  • ey i know mr.jason pretty well. he started workin @ my skool this last year and he isnt all that bad. its funny how people move up in their levels and fake their way through the program and as soon as their out they just rip programs.

  • @luvfndmexD It's a program based on lies, fakers, and power abuse... so why not fake your way through it?

  • @luvfndmexD I know him well too and for many years. You will find out the truth about him. It's only a matter of time. All he cares about is money. He takes advantage of vulnerable kids and their families for profit. He is an opportunist to say the very least.

  • lls..all ur comments bout this school is funny...some tru some not but i was on of the first students at the school in 2002 and i hated every day of it...Even if u made it to level 4, 5 or 6 u still had to be at that shit hole...jason is so fucking fake..he would move ppl up levels even if they didnt earn it...he favored some students over others...what typa shit is that?? dump shit...fuck AIR all day every day... D.M.V baby... 202,240,301,703

  • man that shit was gay i was there for 3 years. me and my boy kyle were there for mad longggg

  • This video needs to come down NOW. Alicia Drake died like a few hours and this is so disrespectful.

  • i agree with viehmanne. while it is good to remember alicia, it shouldn't be under such circumstances. i wouldn't dare speak for her, but i will for myself as a previous attendee at ivy. when you are spreading the 'truth' as you call it, you are spreading propoganda. we don't need outlets such as these.

  • @rdskns1fn yes u do

  • @puremikeg943 Is there a reason behind your statement, or are you just going to leave it at that? I can understand to give future parents, whom are faced with the decision to send their child to such a place, a little heads up, but on Youtube? Not the best outlet. Is that the reason? Or is there another? Please enlighten me and elaborate on your statement....btw, sorry it took so long to respond, such things aren't on my mind as they seem to be for you.

  • @rdskns1fn outlets like these are funny

    this video isn't aimed at whoever died its aimed at ivy ridge, it gives people a place to come and give their feelings on how horrible the school was

  • @viehmanne How is it disrespectful? It's a critisism of the bad school, not of her. Actually, it seems it would benefit her if she was a victim of the school, to show what it did to her

  • @thesnare100 lol the part about meth addicted hobos comes up right when it shows her

  • the faggot ass alpha staff ran in my cell wen i was jerkin it and restrained me i was like wtf u wanna lick my balls or sumthing? didnt go so smooth

  • stfu stolfi u never did tht

  • @MrTirado187 and yeh... u know... no pic no proof tbh

  • @stolfis12 HEYYYYY IS THAT YOU STOLFI????? I remember when you were beating off during when our family was in the computer room, and I believe it was Nick Hemmick who saw you and yelled out Stolfi's beating off in the corner. Then I think it was Mr. Justin who came in and grabbed the shit outta you to intervention. I dont think you remember me though but I still remember I smacked you in the head when were heading to the shower. I feel bad for you man, since you kept on getting shitted on.

  • @BricksRed haha i really wasnt even beating off lol that place sucked ass but that was maaaaad long ago

  • @stolfis12 Funny stories - lol

  • FUCK AIR. spent 1 year worst year of my life il piss all over that shitty school, or shall i say prison. Fuckin dorm parents piss me off i got restrained like every fuckin day fuck intervention fuck george tulip fuck air and fuck jason finlinson! set free innocent kids! i bet theres still kids there from when i was haha o yea also u loose all ur points if u jack off. fuck ivy ridge,

  • i was there for 13 months.and only made it to level 3.ur fine if u shut the fuck up and do what they tell u to.if not.wellll.......ur not going to enjoy your time there to say the least

  • I was there for the May riot in 05 as well. I didn't know there was another riot. that shits crazy.

  • OMG ITS JASON.

  • y0, Philly G here, Was here for A sec, Whats good y'all? , Hit me up VIA PM- was there for riot, got kicked out before 2nd one went down,,

    PEACE N JAH,

    P

  • auschwitz? killing infants? you guys are a bunch of fuckin pussies i went to CSA, AIR, and MA and graduated level 6 and came home happy. thats why you went there in the first place cuz you do nothing but bitch

  • @vvv304 You were a level 6 and you're calling other people pussies? I heard you can't even get past level one without being a snitch...

  • you heard? shut the fuck up until you go there for your self. dont comment on shit you know nothing about about.

  • @vvv304 Yes I heard you fucking down syndrome. I already stated I have never been to the school, but know more than a few people who have attended it. Of the people I know, none of them seem to be as much of a bitch as you so I guess I can see why you got along so well at this program. Why don't you re-comment when you aren't an idiot.

  • @vvv304

    Because even though it IS possible to just "suck it up" it's still very illegal and takes away all your rights as a human being, eventually brainwashing you. Ya, I'm sure you could just DEAL, like how I could probably deal with a fascist tyrannical government I just make sure I never have to.

  • Oh wow. You're comparing AIR to Auschwitz? Seriously?

  • The only difference is Auschwitz could hold more people.

  • Casa by The Sea, and Midwest Academy

  • my name is Jonathan Roas

    i was at Academy Ivy Ridge for 1.5 years.

    when i first got to the place i was in the respect family. then was moved to loyalty family.

    i was also there for they riot that was on June 14.

    do any of you remember that?

    kids were running out of the windows and making there way to woods.

    my cell number is 956-525-2042 if you would like to text me or something keep in tuch.

    when i sleep at night and i look at the walls i think to my self.... "i cant belive im out"

  • there was another riot?? i was there for the 5/16/05 one

  • nope none after that one... just a few break out attempts but nothing large scale

  • for shore i been out for 5 yrs and i still cant believe that shit given they had it way worse in mexico and jamaci but still

  • @hippielo420

    heyy i was there for about a year aroundd 05 -06 if thats the riot your talking about then yeahhhhhh i was there it was the boys though im pretty sure two boys like sharperned the end of a plunger and stabbed the dorm dads and got out crazy shit...

    and i totally AGREE when you say "i cant beleieve im out" i think that to myself every day STILL

  • I went to both South Carolina and Cross Creek. Both experiences taught me soo much however I do disagree with their methods and I believe that the concept was pure hearted but the staff/owners/greed/ and misguidance led these programs to become what they are today. Storage containers for misguided teens and toubled youth.

  • 0:23 - 0:26 i'm definitely in there, lol. man i hated that fucking place and the bullshit they fed us....

  • I was at Ivy Ridge for 1.5 yrs and though it was the worst experience of my life I can not agree with your video. This is so overridden with mockery and pathos loaded verses, accompanied by the music, it almost seems like a parody-not a tribute. Unless that was what your intention was, to make a parody of the situation, I suggest you seriously consider heavily revising this video or removing it. The voice bubbles and presentation of your video is also completely childish and unprofessional.

  • i was at the ridge, and carolina springs.

    can you say

    "welcome to hell?"

  • Comment removed

  • i heard about this one but i was actually sent to carolina springs in south carolina.

  • ur thinking cross creek...

  • I think it might have been a little more scandelas around 05' and 06' where there were over 500 kids there. Thats when the riots broke out and illegal diplomas were handed out and shit.

  • I was there for 12 months. Just left a month before it closed down. I want to thank whoever sued the damm place. It wasnt a badaz school ok, but its good to be free. Thank you and Good Fukin Riddence

  • mygods

  • tranquility bay anyone know is still around were yall in programs have you heard of red river academy lecompte louisana

  • and two years of my life!!!!!

  • even though you have a very warped view on this school.this video had me rollin.i was in for 2 years and yes they helped me feel better about myself for about six months but once that riot happened everything fell to shit and i came out worse then when i walked in. i know i'm not the only one, 13 14 year old kids would come in didn't even know what drugs looked like..came out knowing how to do every one in the book! they didn't care they just wanted money and they got 80k from my parents

  • @djivori exactly.. pay big bucks to get your kids turned into thugs and drug addicts. Go in innocent come out hardened and full of drug knowledge.

  • is he rly gay?

  • no hes not gay. he has a baby son, a daughter and a wife... he just looks a little gay. I knew him.

  • Fuck that PIG JASON

  • @TheDejon Yeh... fuck him... infact if I was guna whoop his ass i'd do it thugnificent style. Stomp em in the nuts, stomp em in the nuts!

  • the more i read these comments i have come to the conclusion that the maker is retarded. i mean in the 27 months of me being there, no one died. sure people got beat up, but hey lifes tough sometimes. dont piss in someone elses cherios. and also people did not get sent there for skipping school once or detention. try years of drug use, violence. for me, and alot of my friends in the ridge, it was here or prison.

  • GR6k.. u need to do some homework...

    i know people who were there for shit as little as getting less than 3 detentions

  • you know people there, but yet havent gone there yourself, homie i was there 4 27 months, have no fear, i have done much homework. the ridge was as bad as you made it. not that hard, dont snitch, go with the flow, you'll make it.

  • I doubt you were there for 27 months, I couldn't imagine someone being so positive after having 2+ years stripped from their teenage life at this shithole.

  • i have never been nor will be 3 things, i am not a bitch, i am not a snitch, i am not a liar. i was there 4 27 months. im pissed i missed 2 years of my good life. but shit was worse at home than in da ridge. and who da fukk u think you are to question me, did u even go 2 da ridge?? dont doubt me please.

  • fake it til u make it -jason finlinson-

  • @dankutcher2  fuk him

  • man u musta got brainwashed hard first off u had to snitch on ur friends to give consequences or u never leveld up no looking at girls???? i mean seriously not that i wanted to cuz they couldnt shave but who the fuck are you to tell me i cant look out of a window or have a midnight snack or have to wake my buddy up out of a dead sleep just to go to the bathroom that place was fucked !!!!!

  • what family were you in?

  • where was ivy ridge this girl that i met said she went to a program in utah something cross

  • upper new york on the border between canada and u.s

  • Comment removed

  • @bmbabygirl Ivy ridge = upstate new york, the "cross" place your talking about might be Cross Creek or something.

  • david yang got a detention and missed school and got sent there. it was a mix between hardcore fuck ups and rich parents mad at there kids bad report card... point being if u dont steal or do drugs or hurting urself and u ddint get arrested you shouldnt have gotten handcuffed from ur house like a criminal and taken to a mystery place to spend a mystery amount of time fuck that shit

  • I was there for 27 months. it was all bullshit. people got jumped, and the staff wuz in on it. i wuz somewhat liked, or just dealt with, so i could do whatever i wanted, including shit wit da girls side. staffing seminars was a joke, if i liked u, u got through, if i didnt, well screw u. plus we could do whtever wit da other girls staffing. yeah despite being horrible, it was some fun.

  • yea i heard about that school man

    it was on CNNN ;( unlucky for thoes children

  • wtf is this

  • Wow... Im surprised no one had commented on the 'Meth addicted hobo' part

    =\

  • LMAO I went there and it doesnt surprise me when someone says that most of the kids that graduated the prgogram turned into some fucked up adults.Because of all the shit we were put through there i was there for 8mo and i cant imagine being there any longer....And for whoever made this video if it makes them feel better about what they went through in there.....they should start a whole web site about this as far as im concerned.

  • lukastowell, my brother went to the school.

    he recently helped it get closed down.. stuff happened up there which wasnt documented or released to the news. Several riots and lots of fishy behavior.

    My brother went into there at 15 years old.. almost a whole year he stayed in there, and when he got out.. nothing changed. He is currently 18 and locked in jail.

    These boarding schools arent worth the money to be honest

  • I am currently realizing an investigation on the WWASPS phenomena, some friends of mine have volunteered to enter these schools under the WWASPS programme for 18+ they have and if neccesary (again volunteer friends) that have 17 (altought we wouldnt like the idea because of the risk) parents agree, they will enter as cover ups to bring the truth of these places to the light these "black ops" will have secret communication to us, we were going to infiltrate tranqility bay but it closed, pm me

  • i just got out from AIR a month ago and it aint as bad ass as people make it out to be.

    no, all them people didn't die. its just an exageration. yea, it was pretty fuked up, but over all the school was just a place to make our parents feel better about us.. whoever made this just has a lot of resentment towards that freakin school..

    if you went to the school and hated it so much...then why did you wast your time makin this when your FINALLY out?

    YOU SHOULD BE ENJOYING THE FREEDOM!!!!

  • I didnt go there and i never been to one of those schools...

    I dont resent the schools, i just think what they did is fucked up

    I didnt waste my time making this, i know a lot of ppl who say they got a good laugh out of the vid...

    I am glad u are out though...

  • when did you get put in

  • sensedative112;

    i was never "put in" and i have never even stepped foot inside this school.

    As I have stated before, I know someone who went to the 'school' and it had only negative effects/

  • my bad dude i meant for that question to be towards funkypunk911

  • I got put in on Feb. 08'. got out Feb. 09'

  • By the way i just made this up in like 5 minutes as a joke... didnt think even you 6 would comment on it :P

  • seriously, who died because of Ivy Ridge? NO ONE. it was their decision to do stupid shit. sorry your life is still a living hell hole. i'm not for or against ivy ridge. but please. do you actually see what you just made a video of?

  • Liserrthapo0h,

    you say it was 'their decision to do stupid shit'...

    Half the kids just skipped school a couple times.. or got detention..

    Then theyre parents get roped into having to pay a big chunk of money to lock theyre kids up...

    my life isnt a living hell hole... just because i made a video reguarding how fucked up ivy ridge is doesnt even mean i went theyre in the first place....

    You just assuming that makes you look ignorant

  • okay, but you did comment about death. most of the people that went to ivy ridge are dead. dead? torture? be real. and the comments below you said that you never went there. so how would you know the experience? this isn't tranquility bay. i mean you don't even know the stuff that went on there. people actually DID learn there, it wasn't about being trapped in a building all day. we learned about life and how we can change our beliefs of stuff. get a life.

  • lol this is funny, i went to cross creek though. who would waste their life making this though lmao

  • took 5 mins to make... i think i heard of cross creek...

    tbh i didnt even go to ivy ridge...

    or any of this 'correctional schools'...

    i know someone who did..

  • and i also want to say that while i don't agree with 25% of the crap that went on there, this video is very unprofessional.

    Erin

  • Yes, what went on in the school was crap... i dont agree with it either

    if i wanted to make it look professional i woulda spent more than 5 minutes on it

  • what video was this based on?

  • its based on some school in Ny..

    the fat slob u see in the video was the owner or something

  • boo hoo:(

  • finally someone makes one of these lol
