This facility was the worst, racist place I've ever been to in my life. If you're white you WILL have issues w staff. They put me OUT ON THE CURB WITH A DAY OLD BABY!! I had a cellphone in the facility which was a rule not to, but I was in an abusive relationship n my sons father FORCED ME TO so he could keep track of me. Do you think they asked me this, NO. They put me and my day old son out on the curb, all our things in trash bags. I just sat there n cried as the staff chuckled. How cruel! I had to go to the Women's Center. They actually helped me & my son. I got on my feet w their help. I have NO IDEA what I would have done if they didn't come and take us there. Those staff members were IN SHOCK they kicked me out w a day old baby. I was still so sick & I needed help. Cold-hearted, rude, ignorant staff & management that only care about money. They WANT YOU to mess up so they can charge your insurance full rate /time whether they kick you out or not, so NOBODY passes or "graduates " their course. They can double up on insurance kicking you out n having another girl take your place...THEN they find something about that girl n get her out just to keep filling spots n doubling up on insurance. I knew NOBODY that graduated when I was there and ppl got kicked out over anything. Dont give these ppl a damn dime
