Hello,

Thank you for the kind comments. There is a fascinating overlap with prevention science and other interventions aimed at correcting criminal behavior and reforming incarcerated people.

In 2-3 weeks we will publish a description of their program. Harrowing stuff.

A few weeks later another post about greater context.

We published a framework to think about such centers.

We will publish a description of their program (on Sept 25th) and the broader context on which it developed (mid October).

Thank you. We have one more letter describing their program coming, and two newsletter the context in which it arose. Likely more afterwards. Difficult to read, and really shocking to see what we put children through in an effort to make them "behave".

Always a pleasure to engage. We write about these issues because we find it interesting, useful.

We write publicly for a number of reasons. I think we think it's important, but publishing also gives us discipline and more significantly the chance of interaction.
