The Glen Mills Schools. Retrieved on September 6, 2011.〕 Cosimo D. "Sam" Ferrainola, who served as the director of Glen Mills for many years, said that Glen Mills's social structure is, in the words of David Barstow of the ''St. Petersburg Times'', "a system of social control borrowed directly from street gangs. () Which is why Glen Mills recruits gang members as students. They readily understand the power of peer pressure and the rewards of status. The big difference between a street gang and Glen Mills is that students aren't allowed to lay a hand on each other."〔 ==History== The institution opened in 1826 as the Philadelphia House of Refuge.〔 In 1996 officials in Florida started plans to establish the Adam Paine Academy, modeled on Glen Mills.〔 In 1997 pressure from the surrounding community lead to an end to the plans to establish the Florida school.〔"(History )."
