Best Answer

Lorenzo Carcaterra wrote the book that the film was based upon. The Wilkinson Home for Boys was, in fact a real place, but that was not the name of it.

The facility in question was one of twelve reform schools that accepted delinquent boys from New York City, located in upstate New York. The lawns were perfectly groomed, and from the outside, looked like a decent place to be.

Nothing has changed for boys in the juvenile justice system. All that you saw in the movie, still goes on at all these facilities.
