The Glen Mills Schools (GMS) is a residential educational facility for juvenile delinquents located near Glen Mills in Thornbury Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania for boys between 12 and 21 years of age. It has been described as, "the country's most radical and, some say, its most effective answer yet to juvenile crime."[1][2][3][4][5][6] It is also the subject of an ongoing investigation or law enforcement proceeding at the U.S. Department of Justice.[7] On March 25, 2019, the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services ordered an emergency removal of all students from the school.[8]

History

The Glen Mills Schools is the oldest surviving school of its type in the United States, continuously providing services to troubled youth for almost 200 years.[9]

  • The institution opened in 1826 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the Philadelphia House of Refuge.[10]
  • In 1892, the school relocated to its current campus in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania.
  • In 1911, the school changed its name to the Glen Mills Schools.

The Ferrainola period

Cosimo D. "Sam" Ferrainola, who served as the director of Glen Mills from 1975-2007, said that the school's social structure is, "a system of social control borrowed directly from street gangs. [...] Which is why Glen Mills recruits gang members as students. They readily understand the power of peer pressure and the rewards of status. The big difference between a street gang and Glen Mills is that students aren't allowed to lay a hand on each other."[6] Ferrainola was supervised by Howard W. Polsky (New Xork), writer of "Cottage Six".[10]

Campus

The {{convert|750|acre|ha}} campus is situated on an almost {{convert|1800|acre|ha|adj=on}} property, located {{convert|20|mi|km}} west of Philadelphia,[5][11] The campus may appear "like another pricey prep school for East Coast elites" but is highly regarded for reforming some of the most extreme cases of juvenile delinquency[6][12]

Outside influences

  • In 1996 officials in Florida started plans to establish the Adam Paine Academy, modeled on Glen Mills.[6] Community pressure led to an end of the plans in 1997.[13]
  • In Europe, the Netherlands and Germany adopted some of the Glen Mills philosophies after 1980. German psychologist Manfred Günther studied the school in 1979 and the famed German criminologist Jens Weidner developed a lot of Glen Mills' techniques (i.e. Gestalt therapy's "hot seat" and others) to use in German youth prisons like in Hameln.[14][15]

Controversy

In February 2019, it was reported that GMS had been abusing their students.[16] It was said that conditions at the school “constitute gross incompetence, negligence, misconduct in operating a facility, including mistreatment and abuse of clients, likely to constitute immediate and serious danger to the life or health of the children in care." This prompted the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services to order an emergency removal of all students from the school on March 25, 2019.[17]

Notable alumni

  • Ralph Jarvis, gridiron football player
  • Aaric Murray, basketball player[18]
  • Bernard Pierce, NFL player for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Baltimore Ravens.[19]
