For those people outside of the Fundy Christian world, Rev. Lester Roloff was one of the old-time travelling preachers of the 1940s and in the 1950s or 1960s he set up his "Roloff Homes" for "wayward" children; these were hard-core reformatories. These places were full of abuse (which you won't read about on Wikipedia because his flunkies monitor the entry on him); the most well-known was "Rebekah House", where 16 girls came forward in the early 1970s relating to authorities how they were whipped and handcuffed to drainpipes. These sort of Christian children's prisons still exist, but many have moved to South America to stay away from the law.
Here is an article on Roloff and a latter day version of him named "Dr." Jack Patterson:

"Dr." Patterson is a graduate of the unaccredited Hyles-Anderson College, an ultra-fundamentalist school which has produced a number of abusive crazies. Jack Hyles, the founder, was no nice guy himself.
