About us

History

Secret prisons for teens was founded in 2006 as it became clear that imported methods used on at-risk teenagers in Denmark were both untested and dangerous.

The Wiki database over residential programs for teenagers was established in 2007. Today there are over 700 entries over behavior modification programs in about 27 countries.

The goal with the wiki database is to create a worldwide dictionary over residential programs and other solutions used to address the so-called at-risk teenagers behavior.

How do we work

We are a number of named and unnamed persons assigned to various message boards and social networks. Beside our normal life each member of Spft has a specific work area. Every information is sent back to a number of volunteers who maintains the wiki databases.

We do not meet in persons with survivors or other staff members. For pure ethical reasons we communicate over the Internet only. If a volunteer approaches you asking for a personal meeting, please report it to the email alert<a>secretprisonsforteens.dk

Our policy is to let volunteers work on message boards in another country than they live. It makes them harder to target legally. Most of our work is done inside the Danish borders. Denmark is known to be a country supporting free speech regardless of the consequences.
