Tierra Blanca Ranch was marketed as a working ranch for at-risk teenagers. The parents who sent their sons to this ranch would properly not imagine that their boys would end up in shackles but that is the case.
From the very start there was problems with licesing. A young man died while attending the ranch because he feel of a car. There was no seatbelts for his position.
In the end the authorities had to issue an Amber Alert to find the last boys.
It does not sound like a fun place to be as a teenager.
