OMG dude that sounds so similar. We couldn't have any tapes of good music or they would confiscate them. Anything that didn't praise God was considered contraband.

It was an all male live-in school where we were there for five days a week except for two months in the summer.

We pretty much never got to leave except for Christmas. This place was out in the sticks as well. Me and a friend tried to run away and actually made it 55 miles on foot in 2 days until we finally flagged down a cop after being exhausted, hungry and parched. We never passed by a single store or business the entire walk, just trees and the odd house. This actually gives me an idea to write a post about the whole thing. So much shit went down at Oneida.
