San Diego Freedom Ranch at 1777 Buckman Springs Road, Campo, California.

The staff their where helpful and understanding. My boyfriend was very happy and comfortable there. This place was heaven sent.

Zero adherence to their class syllabuses. If you want to watch a ton of YouTube videos all day and be surrounded by people who are only there to avoid prison,some who are placed in positions of leadership capable of assigning punishment to other residents for violations of "unwritten" rules than that's what you should expect. The paid staff does little to nothing for the residents in comparison to the volunteers. Bunks were 35° during the winter time and the heating system was either intentionally unused or neglected to be repaired. To call it a ranch is laughable. 2 trapped wild ducks in a cage is the extent of their livestock. It's more like a really disfunctional 6th grade camp with a record of residents returning over and over again. Great place if you're on paper and need to appease the courts. If you self pay go anywhere else.
