Elan School is definitely one of the darkest chapters in so-called “behavioral modification” history in the US. Officially shut down in 2011, but the methods used there were basically psychological and physical torture disguised as “therapy” or “discipline.”
What’s known:
Kids were sent there for minor offenses or just for being “difficult”
They used sleep deprivation, public humiliation, group beatings, forced false confessions
One kid even died during a forced fight session, something barely talked about
Tons of abuse reports surfaced, but the institution was protected for a long time and very few got justice
There are conspiracy theories linking Elan to MKULTRA-style mind control experiments—no hard proof, but the secrecy around it fuels those claims
There are personal testimonies from survivors describing lifelong trauma. Some documentaries and investigative articles, like “The Last Stop” and Boston Globe reports, shed light on what happened.
If anyone has more concrete docs, stories, or personal connections to former students, this deserves to be collected and shared. This can’t be forgotten or brushed under the rug.
