The target group is "at-risk" girls and boys between 13 and 16 years of age. They have to be resident in Palm Beach County. They also need to have no felonies on their police record.[1]
Eagle Academy strictly enforces discipline: a button not done up, a word out of place or any non conformity could result in 10 push-ups or 20 jumping jacks or more, depending on the infraction.[2]
The program claims to have helped about 80 percent of the detainees to lead a productive life.[3]
According to the new budget of 2013, The Eagle Academy was closed, saving $4.5M a year.[4]
