Paris Hilton, survivor of Provo Canyon School, testifies in support of California Senate Bill 1043 with survivors of Alpine Academy, WWASP, and other Troubled Teen Industry programs in Sacramento on April 15, 2024. SB 1043 was introduced by Sen. Shannon Grove to bring transparency to the TTI and passed this committee hearing with unanimous support. The California State Capitol was buzzing with excitement as Sacramento gave Paris Hilton and other survivors a warm welcome.

The Troubled Teen Industry (TTI) is a loose network of wilderness camps, boarding schools, residential treatment centers, and bootcamps purporting to help teens. In reality, they use sadistic methods as part of an abusive behavioral modification program which leaves survivors with lasting trauma. These programs can cost as much as university education. In addition to being funded privately by parents who can afford it, less privileged teens have their abuse paid for with taxpayer money via city and state foster funds, school district funds, and juvenile justice dollars.
