Former Employee Weighs In

A testimonial from a former JRC employee:

Hi, my name is Gregory Miller. I used to work at a school in Massachusetts named The Judge Rotenberg Center (JRC) where we used powerfully painful electric shock devices (45 – 91 milliamps, at 66 volts) on students to control their behaviors. These devices are much stronger than police stun guns (1-4 milliamps).... The United Nations is aware of JRC, has called these shocks at JRC “torture”....

To me, this next statement is particularly damning because it undermines the main thesis of JRC's argument:

Rather than shocking students for only severe behaviors, JRC also shocks students for minor behaviors, such as closing eyes for 15 seconds while sitting at the desk, pulling apart a loose piece of thread, tearing an empty used paper cup....
