DOES NBR MONITOR THE MUSIC THE RESIDENTS LISTEN TO?
Yes, as closely as
such an issue can be monitored. We try to limit the
amount of negative influences, such as use of illegal
drugs, alcohol use, anti-authority themes, casual
attitudes about illicit sex, etc. Therefore, this
philosophy is carried out in rules on music, clothing,
posters, everyday living, video games, movies etc. Any
medium that promotes any of the above ideals, we will
attempt to monitor.
Even though we don’t try to
single out any special type of music, hard rock and rap
are the most controversial due to the themes some groups
promote. All items brought to the ranch must be
approved by the Direct Care Staff.
Personal tapes and CD’s are restricted at NBR. This
area is one of the most controversial (from the
resident’s point of view) and one of the most difficult
to enforce (from NBR’s point of view). Because of this
situation, it is extremely helpful for NBR to have
parental support on this issue. Please instruct your
child to leave all tapes and CD’s at home. As a means
of enforcing this rule NBR reserves the right to inspect
a resident’s room anytime we have reason to believe he
could have any items that are against the rules (i.e.
tapes, CD’s, tobacco, drugs and alcohol.)
