I finished Jesus Land a few weeks ago. A memoir by Julia Scheeres, Jesus Land chronicles her adolescence, first spent in Indiana in the home of her fundamentalist parents, whose rules and punishments defy logic. To a certain extent, part one of her book is a pretty standard story of the misguided and harmful abuse children can be subjected to in the name of God. Part two, however, is when things get really interesting. Julia and her adopted brother, David (an African-American), are sent to Escuela Caribe, a "therapeutic" Christian school in the Dominican Republic. The facts of the situation are far more dire than the official web site explains, and Escuela Caribe is a true hell for every student sent there, and is still open for business (read testimony from alumni here).
The second half of the book reads like a incredibly twisted Girl, Interrupted, and becomes quite fascinating.
