The people who wanted to reform TYC focused only on that part. <BR/><BR/>The other 90% of the book is about the corrupt networks which still dominate TYC at the facility level. That part has not yet been discovered by the reformers. For some reason they have so far ignored the parts about how the dirty cliques run everything and suppress the truth.<BR/><BR/>When you read the book, you will agree that the old system is very much in place - just look around at who makes the decisions where you work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-4513023517998701392008-06-05T18:34:00.000-05:002008-06-05T18:34:00.000-05:00Two book reviews (about an important TYC book)RAPE...Two book reviews (about an important TYC book)<BR/><BR/>RAPED by the STATE: FRACTURED JUSTICE - LEGAL ABUSE by Randal Chance 2004<BR/><BR/>1.
