348
When Kestryl Cael was 15 years old, his parents told him they were taking him on vacation. The plane landed in Provo, Utah, and Cael landed in a lock-down ‘therapeutic boarding school.’
‘348′ is a searing examination of the troubled teen industry, forced institutionalization, and madness in America. Cael’s misadventures in the psychiatric industry combine with statistics, stories and stigma for revelations on power, pain, and isolation.
You’d be crazy not to come.
The piece is titled 348 in reference to the time that Kestryl spent at PCS, a lock-down private institution for “troubled teens.” At PCS, names were replaced with numbers, and Kestryl was identified with #348.
