forum Any tips on realistically writing a boarding/ reform school?

I'm currently in the middle of plotting a heist comedy that centers around two juvenile delinquents escaping from their reform school (which is also a boarding school). Problem is, I have never been to any sort of boarding school, much less one for delinquents, so I have no idea how to construct this setting realistically.

Any tips for how modern boarding/ reform schools operate?

Pick a real-life school to use as a model and browse their website for as much information as possible
