The Judge Rotenberg Educational Center (JRC) is a private residential school located in Canton, MA. serving students and adults with autism, mental retardation, emotional disturbance and multiple disabilities, under the direction of Matthew Israel, Ph.D. Executive Director.  The Judge Rotenberg Center serves it’s students 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Part of the JRC teaching involves punishing students who misbehave. and rewarding students for good behavior.  Punishment can come in the form skin shock therapy administered by a JRC staff member.  Staff members wear a transmitter that send a shock signal to the student who is wearing a receiver in a backpack or a fanny pack. Students who have trouble controlling their hands wear holsters to lock their hands at their sides until a teacher releases them.  Rewards are a trip to “Rewards Street, a replica of the “Yellow Brick Road” from the “Wizard of Oz”, complete with talking characters.  Students may be rewarded with a trip to the game room, the department store, complete with clothes, jewelry and makeup, the hair dresser, the Tiki room, for relaxing with soft drinks and computers or going to the in house movie theatre, complete with a concession stand.  In addition to the “Yellow Brick Road”  the center is filled with unique and expensive art, which decorates halls, conference rooms and offices.

JRC Expert Admits Shocks Didn’t Work, But Says Damage Was Minimal:

(MyFoxBoston.com) There were tough questions in court Friday for an expert who suggested that a teenager shocked and restrained for hours was treated appropriately.

Psychiatrist Lloyd Price, testifying on behalf of the Judge Rotenberg Center, tried to portray former JRC student Andre McCollins as a violent and angry young man who needed to be restrained.

McCollins was 18 at the time and a client of JRC in 2002 when he was shocked 31 times inside a classroom, mostly while restrained face-down on a restraint board. The treatment was inappropriate and unneeded and is causing damage to this day, his lawyers contend.

My Commentary: “Pain compliance” does not constitute ‘treatment.” It is basic conditioning, such as is done on lab rats… This pseudo-scientific attempt to control the very being of a human is not only in complete violation with our natural born rights, it just so happens to cause brain damage in victims, directly and through trauma. It is just another in a long list of disgraceful and barbaric practices committed against humanity in the name of “medicine.”

Video Reveals Teen’s Electro-Shock Torture at Massachusetts School:

() A video that a school in Massachusetts has fought in court for years to keep under wraps was played in public for the first time this week, revealing the torture of a disabled boy through the use of repeated electric shocks.

The Judge Rotenberg Center (JRC) in Caton, Massachusetts has for years been pushing back against allegations of flippant use of electric shocks and other abuses against its special-needs students, and it had managed to keep video central to a case brought by one former student’s mother under wraps.

Now, the public knows why.

My Commentary: Andre McCollins, an 18-year-old special needs student attending the Judge Rotenberg Center (JRC) in Canton, Massachusetts, is confined and tortured with 31 electric shocks over a 7-hour span as “therapy” for the “crime” of not complying with a school official’s request that he remove his jacket…
