Watching HBO’s ‘Teen Torture, Inc.

REVOLTING –

July 16, 2024 – “Teen Torture, Inc.” is the latest documentary aimed at exposing alleged abuses within the massive “troubled teen” industry, which caters to parents and state agencies desperate to find help for struggling teenagers. The HBO miniseries features programs that are based in Utah. Jen Robison, who was sent to Provo Canyon School in 2003, described in “Teen Torture, Inc.” how she was chemically sedated with Haldol while at the Utah program. Chemical sedation is no longer allowed in Utah programs after a reform bill was passed in 2021 — but it was used so frequently in the past at Provo Canyon School that residents and staff referred to the sedative shot as “booty juice.”
