Return To The Shiny Happy People Cult Compound | Friends With Davey
Manage episode 409547430 series 3510482
The "Indianapolis Training Center" was one of the primary compounds for the Shiny Happy People Cult in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Davey Jackson was sent to the compound for "behavioral rehab" in the cult's infamous Life Focus program, where he was subjected to intense manual labor, religious indoctrination, solitary confinement, and even a personal meeting with cult leader, Bill Gothard.
He recently returned to Indianapolis for the first time since he was 16 years old, and visited the former compound to see what has changed.
Davey shares video footage of what the building looks like today while recalling some of his experiences on campus.
