RIP Karl 1991-2014
Everything was laid out in a circle of wood chips. There was grass in the center, with four narrow paths of chips leading in. Around the circle were the teepees, where we slept, the "potties" (more on this in a bit), the spit hole, the wood corral, the water spigot, and the mess hall. To move around the circle, one could only go clockwise - to go from the wood corral at nine o'clock to the "potties" at seven o'clock took running all the way around, for example. One was not permitted to use the terms bathroom or restroom; it was called only a "potty." To use the "potty," one had to say, "Potty please." Not even, "May I use the potty?" To use the "potty" at night, we had to get fully dressed in our teepees, put on the "potty boots" (large rubber things without inner linings), stand at the door, and yell, "Potty please," then wait to be accompanied over by a night staff. This kind of humiliation is what Ascent specialised in. It served no therapeutic purpose whatsoever.
