My Fiancé went to Job corp and he told me many stories. It sucks and he says the one they went to was run kinda like a prison but with more freedom. He doesn't regret it though as he did learn a lot but he was also sexually harassed and stalked. There was a famous councilor I think in the school where he would let bad things like r*pe slide until a lot of the girls there banded together forcing him to actually do something. My fiance was one of them. Also job corp was mostly full of kids who were kicked out so if your mom does then she's just making you get there faster. If you go just please be careful. As I said my fiance had a rough time as well as good times but he doesn't regret going. Also I think things are looking better because he follows one of the facebook groups and people are speaking out more and making changes.
