Perspectives from parents, educational authorities, and former residents on the transformative impact of St. Brutus' Secure Centre's rehabilitation programs.
Judicial Perspective
JUDGE HAROLD STERN
District Court Justice
"St. Brutus' represents one of the few effective solutions for our most challenging juvenile cases."
Over my 22-year judicial career, I've seen the revolving door of juvenile detention fail time and again. What distinguishes St. Brutus' is their uncompromising approach to discipline combined with genuine rehabilitation opportunities.
The recidivism rates for youth who complete their program are remarkably lower than national averages. For certain profiles of troubled youth, this institution provides the structure that no other environment can match.
Parent Perspective
MARGARET & RICHARD K.
Parents of Former Resident
"Enrolling our son at St. Brutus' was the hardest decision we ever made. It was also the right one."
By age 15, our son was involved with drugs, theft, and had been expelled from two schools. We had tried everything - therapy, alternative schools, even brief stints in juvenile detention. Nothing worked.
St. Brutus' harsh environment was initially shocking to us, but we watched our son slowly transform over 18 months. The strict structure and consequences finally got through to him in a way nothing else could.
He's now 23, employed full-time, and hasn't had any legal issues since his release. We got our son back.
Resident Perspective
THOMAS W.
Graduate, 2017
"I arrived at St. Brutus' full of rage. I left with purpose."
I won't sugarcoat it - St. Brutus' is a brutal place by design. The first weeks were the hardest of my life. No freedom, no exceptions, no second chances. Every minute is structured and monitored.
But beneath the harsh exterior is something rare: staff who actually believe troubled kids can change. Their vocational program taught me welding skills I still use today. The counseling forced me to confront my choices and their consequences.
Five years later, I run my own small welding business. I'm not proud of my past, but I'm grateful for the intervention that stopped my self-destruction.
Educational Perspective
DR. ELEANOR GRANT
Education Consultant
"Their educational approach addresses the fundamental gaps many troubled youth face."
As an educational consultant who has worked with numerous correctional facilities, I find St. Brutus' academic program exceptional in several respects.
Unlike many institutions that offer only minimal educational services, St. Brutus' provides individualized assessment and remediation. Their classroom structure—with low student-teacher ratios and clear behavioral expectations—creates an environment where learning can actually occur.
Most importantly, they seamlessly integrate academic learning with practical applications through their vocational program, giving residents tangible paths forward.
Law Enforcement Perspective
CAPTAIN ROBERT MILLS
Juvenile Crimes Division
"We see a marked difference in graduates of St. Brutus' compared to other detention programs."
For 15 years, I've worked with juvenile offenders, many of whom cycle through various intervention programs with little impact. St. Brutus' graduates stand out for their dramatically lower recidivism rates.
What distinguishes their approach is the combination of clear consequences with practical rehabilitation. The young men who complete their program understand both the repercussions of criminal behavior and have viable alternatives through education and vocational skills.
For serious juvenile offenders, St. Brutus' often represents the last opportunity to redirect their lives before adult criminal careers take hold.
