I spent most of my time in cells that’s what they called the hole for beating up all the other kids that got there after me not the girls but the boys because that place was mine and I loved it there what Better Pl., Kadim young rowdy kid be sent to the girls reform school it was like heaven. I fell in love with a girl name Dana Willett. She is super hot blonde was anyway I don’t know what she’s like now but back then she was the finest girl there. I remember the first day I walked into the chow hall, and all the girls went crazy. My face was red as a covered wagon. But as soon as I walked in there, I knew I was gonna have a lot of fun over the next 45 days and I did.!!!

Some of you reference some less than great memories, I myself am struggling with some. Without getting too personal, I am wondering if anyone experienced trauma at the hands of staff there, particularly male staff. I don't know where else to start with these questions since MVS has been closed for so long and has all but disappeared from public purview. Is anyone willing to share vague details if they share similar memories, and/or initials of staff members or even their first names?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2371607735808645509.post-75328782619201863502022-12-31T23:02:01.064-07:002022-12-31T23:02:01.064-07:00Hi all!

While some memories I would like to forget this place became home to me. I had anywhere from 60-80 sisters at all times. Some I still have contact with. Yes being locked in security or cells really sucked but it served its purpose. There I met some very caring people. Mr. Bill Unger and Ethal street gave their lives taking care of us.
