2000+ pat downs and counting
Dining Hall Pat Down, Muscogee Youth Development Campus, Midland, GA. The average stay for treatment here is 12-14 months. Juveniles are patted down upon entering and leaving the dining hall. Add it up—the average number of pat downs is 2200-2600 during treatment… and meals are eaten with “sporks.”
