About ‘Cruel Instruction’
In “Cruel Instruction,” Kayla Adams, a 16-year-old girl, is expelled from school and is sent to a youth residential treatment center by her mother, per the school counselor’s suggestion. Kayla and a young woman named Amanda arrive together and become roommates. However, Amanda has been to this treatment center before and knows that headmistress Miss Connie uses verbal and physical abuse as punishments. Amanda and Kayla team up to make it out, tell their stories, and expose the dangers of such treatment centers.

Cruel Instruction
The story of 16-year-old Kayla Adams, whose mother, Karen is advised by the school’s counselor to send Kayla to get treatment at a youth residential treatment center after she gets expelled from school. Kayla arrives at the Utah facility on the same day as her roommate Amanda, a treatment program veteran who knows exactly what the girls were in for. Led by headmistress Miss Connie, the staff uses draconian methods including force-feeding medications, arbitrary punishments, solitary confinement, verbal and physical abuse to keep the students in line. After being pushed to their limits and stripped of their lifelines, including any ability to freely communicate with the outside world, the two young women must band together to survive and fight to expose the abuse before it’s too late.
