I know where I'm headed, and what to expect. I read Blackthorne's internet site the day I got the sentence.
Blackthorne Institute for Boys is a semi-detention facility for boys aged 14 to 17. The students who attend are specially picked from the many rebellious teenagers from around the world. They are picked to serve a shorter sentence than they would be given under normal circumstances if the judge or jury decide the accused teenager has potential to return their lives to normal.
Although it is a school for troubled teenagers who are in trouble with the law, the students still have some privileges. They have two weeks holiday over Christmas*. The dormitory style accommodation allows students to make friends, and learn acceptable social skills. Occasionally they have the opportunity to spend time with Blackthorne's sister school, Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, where they learn how to respect and socialise with girls their age, who can teach them how to live on the right side of the law.
Students at Blackthorne Institute are taught a modified version of the standard curriculum to suit their behaviours and needs.
After graduating, students will undergo a series of tests and procedures by local authorities to decide if they need extra sentencing, or if they are fit to return to normal living.
*Only in cases where the student has been deemed responsible enough to return home for a short break. Other conditions, such as mandatory monitoring by the local authorities, ankle bracelets and restricted rights, apply.
A/N Once again, I'm sorry for the short chapter, but I had to set up a back-story and explain some things. I hope this was alright, and I will update soon, I hope. Reviews are always nice! And thanks for all the ones I got for my first chapter. (:
