stonepound house remand home hassocks. by nico 14 April 2007Can anyone tell me more about the remand home,where naughty girls were sent by County Borough of Brighton Juvenille team in the mid 60,s.13 replies Re: stonepound house remand home hassocks. by Jenni 26 August 2007Yes I know it. I was sent there aged 15, (having committed no crime!), because my parents thought I was in a ‘bad crowd’. It was a terrible place. Re: stonepound house remand home hassocks. by Lynn 3 June 2008Stonepound house was indeed a remand home.I was sent there at age 15 for running away from home due to abusive parents.I was taken there after the Courts had decided I needed to be assesssed on medical and phsycological grounds before deciding what to do with me. Life there was tough,6 weeks, scrubbing floors, laundry,dormitories to sleep, if you dare talk after lights out you were made to stand in the corridor all night on one leg!Think I am joking? No way.If you dared to answer back to staff you were put in a room at the top of the house in solitary confinement,a mattress on the floor and a pot in the corner to pee in.Bars against the windows, and a small blanket.I was assigned a childcare officer who listened to me, and on returning to Court 6 weeks later was taken to a place of safety away from my Parents to a Home in Bexhill. The Courts realised I had done nothing wrong, but was subjected to the most horrendous treatment.On reaching 16 I was then found a place to live and started the journey of life. Re: stonepound house remand home hassocks. by Nico 7 November 2008Amazing but true, I also was sent there after running away from home when I was 15 & yes I was in that solitary confinement room & spent the remainder of my stay locked up in another room,because Mrs Harvey-Perry accused me of stealing her keys,despite the fact she found them in her litter basket that same day! if you,dlike to contact me Lynn please do at yummyscrumptious@fsmail.net.

The girls were not bad, one had to leave a childrens home because she was to old, and had nowhere else to go. I liked the solitary confinment room, it was the only room upstairs with clear glass, I will never forget that horrible place being shouted at for not cleaning the toilets and baths properly all I did was finish to soon.
