Well, I guess no one else is going to comment on this story, and it's too good for someone not to post.

I have been hanging back because youth correction facilities is something of a hot button with me, having worked in such institutions for two years.

Pueros, as usual you are weaving an excellent tale. I have to admit I was somewhat bothered by the picture you painted with the obvious blatant abuse that went on, but you made that scenario right by explaining that the Institution officials were working outside the law.

Ok, having defended the millions of kids that are in such places, let me also say this. I have been told many times by senior guards (actually they call themselves Correction Officers at least in North Carolina) that the youth facilities suffer the hightest turnover of staff, even higher that max security murderers and mob members, because teenagers in general, and in particular those in trouble, as so volatile and unpredictable that tensions reach an unbelievable level.

Such things as Pueros describes would never happen in any institution that I have worked in (about 10 dealing with teens) but there are those who wish they would - it would make life a lot easier for those who have to deal with them every day.

But back to the story. I for one am enjoying it immensely! Oce again thank you, Pueros!

Many thanks (again), Charlieje, for your kind comments about one of my tales. Such remarks keep me motivated!

As I'm sure you've guessed, I'm not just writing (at least for some who share my tastes) a hopefully interesting (and erotic?) tale but also, even if only at a sublimininal level, a social & political comment.

It's not really aimed at American institutions of this kind, which I'm sure are amongst the best on the planet, but at many others worldwide where this type of abuse actually regularly occurs. I've just set it in the States to attract a wider readership, as I've sadly noticed that many longer tales involving different countries lose quite a lot of supporters very quickly.

It's an allegory. I mean no slur on correctional staff in the USA & I hope that my American friends will therefore forgive the setting if they're, in anyway, offended by it!

I worked as a night guard in a boot camp for boys. I happen to know that we did have a high turn over of guards. I only lasted about 6 months before I quit.

I saw a lot of boys being very mean to each other. Even rapes. What pissed me off is the staff would turn a blind eye to it. I never saw it myself, but I am also real sure the rumors of some guards doing sex things with some boys for favors is true.

I just finished the conclusion of "The Institution" and I had to post again. GREAT STORY, Pueros! I love it when nice guys don't finish last, and I truly believe that sometimes it actually happens that way!

Thinking about places like this just makes me want to cry. The local boy prison here has a charge account at our shop, and I hate those people. Granted, some of the boys NEED something, but that place sure isn't it. It was all I could do to read this story; no offense, Pueros, but after seeing some of those pictures from there, and knowing that there are boys in there who SHOULD NOT BE, I just couldn't handle it.

Just to stir up the the pot there, I asked the Head Jackass if I could adopt the cute nine year old in the wrestling pictures we did. He says to me, "You dont' want him, he's a gay sex offender." I prompty threw him out of the store and billed them $4 million to their house account.

Think they'll deliver the boy?

Thanks, guys, for your kind feedback.

As I wrote the story because my viewpoint exactly matches that of Paolo's, I hope that the underlining message was delivered to the readers, although, of course, they are free to agree with it or not.
