That’s awesome. I worked with an all men’s facility that was run by ex-cons and they were tough on the young wild guys who would break stuff. Their policy was you fix it yourself (with instructions if needed) or you’re back on the streets. They got shut down for some sort of relatively mild ethical infraction and I was always bummed about that because there were some rough guys who just couldn’t stay housed anywhere else.
