Isn't that situation flatly illegal? I'd think the people running the place could be charged with False Imprisonment.

Depends on how old the person is. Back in the Tranquility Bay days, kids were literally kidnapped in the middle of the night from their beds and brought to those facilities. The instant they turn 18 they are told they can stay with the program and finish, or quit right there and then. If they quit, they were given a ticket back home and some cab fare. Usually, if you quit, the implication was that your family wouldn't take you back and you'd be totally on your own with $50 to your name.

Yeah the proper response from the editor should have been to set the article on fire before it even got posted.

Reading the underlined part it just looks like a way for them to not make any useful laws and then void any local laws that try to address a problem the state isn't interested in.
