In the RPF you are held AGAINST YOUR WILL for months or even years. There is no release until you are declared "REDEEMED". If you are committed to an RPF late in your life, you might just die there (and be CREMATED before your family are informed of your death).

You will UNDERGO HARD LABOUR to- and beyond -- exhaustion. YOU HAVE TO RUN EVERYWHERE (WHILST CARRYING HEAVY WEIGHTS). You will be ordered to perform BIZARRE PHYSICAL TASKS, such as carrying buckets filled with sand up and down a ladder. You wear a PRISON UNIFORM to identify you as a CRIMINAL and to DEMEAN YOU. In the RPF you are FORBIDDEN ANY CONTACT WITH YOUR SPOUSE AND CHILDREN. In addition, whilst in the RPF, you are YOU ARE BILLED FOR EVERY SINGLE DAY YOU SPEND IN INCARCERATION AND FOR EVERY COURSE OF TREATMENT YOU RECEIVE.

These facts were confirmed in an investigative article in the LOS ANGELES TIMES ("In interviews and public records, former staff and inmates have said they were alienated from society, stripped of familiar beliefs, punished for aberrant behaviour, rewarded for conformity (brain-washing), and worked beyond exhaustion." (June 26, 1990, p. A16). "RPF'ers as they are called, are separated from their family and friends for months or years. They cannot speak unless spoken to, they run wherever they go and they wear armbands to denote their lowly condition." They are expected to do very menial jobs and hard labour or whatever the management "deem necessary for redemption."

Confinement in the RPF is not restricted to adults. CHILDREN WHO MISBEHAVE can be TAKEN FROM THEIR PARENTS and confined to the RPF.

Reports of abuse are common.

This child is being whipped and abused simply for "questioning the works of L Ron Hubbard Scientology teaches its members to treat children like animals and here is an obvious example.

Wally Hanks spent hours carving special paddles for child abuse this sadly is only one of the stories of children being abused(physically and sexually) in scientology and one of the few where even the AUDIO is fit for youtube.

Extract from a victim's story

In California, there used to be a facility called the Mace Kingsley Ranch (this has now relocated to New Mexico). This was basically a boot camp for kids of Scientologists run using Hubbard principles of 'ethics' etc. The idea was to handle these mostly teenagers who had gone off the rails (may have something to do with the typical neglect shown by Scieno parents, who spend all their time and money on Scientology). As a side note, the money they made was outrageous, charging at least $3,000 per kid each month.

Wally Hanks was the owner of this facility. He was "a highly trained OT Scientologist". He was in actual fact a child molester. He got kids drunk and then gave them guns to practice shooting. I was there, this is not heresay. He molested me by putting his hands down my shirt after he had given me several beers. I was 12 at the time. When I asked another girl there about this, she said that it was just the way he was and he did it with all the girls.

Later on, when I worked for the Church, I saw reports that he had done much worse molestings with other girls. He would get girls drunk and then have them urinate on cars and then touch their private parts. I do not remember if he had actually raped any of them, but it is possible. The girls were young, pre-teens or teens. The Church knew all about it, but didn't report it to the authorities and didn't declare him a Suppressive Person because "he was an OT 8 and it would cause bad PR". This all occured between 4 - 8 years ago.

Additionally, Wally used to beat the kids, mostly the boys with a paddle. If someone did anything wrong, all the kids would be brought into a room and watch one kid get paddled. I saw this happen. Additionally, any kid would be paddled on their birthday.

Wally left the Mace Kingsley ranch, but even there, the abuses continued. I know of one boy who was sent there and he was so badly beaten (bruised all over and still scared now). He ran away and the police found him and brought him back. They never checked him for bruising and that is why the authorities didn't get involved. This occured about 5 years ago.

Where is Wally Hanks now? I invite other victims of this sex offender to come forth and then he can be stopped. He could be molesting children right now and ruining thier lives.
