Where We Slept


We were grouped into 'families' with inspirational names such as 'courage' 'integrity' 'knowledge' 'odyssey' etc... There were 2 families in each house which was divided in half by a wall. Along each side of both sections of the house were lines of 6 bunk beds. There were 24 girls on one side of the divider and 24 girls on the other side of the divider totaling 48 girls per house. There was a common bathroom at the end of the house opposite the door. There were 4 toilets. We were given 1 basket upon arrival to place all of our non-contraband items. Basically a brush, shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, tampons/pads, 1 pair of pajamas, underwear, bra, socks, and 1 uniform. The 'canastas' were checked daily by the upper levels to make sure they were spotless and contained only what we were allowed to have.
