Academy at Dundee Ranch was a behavior modification facility for United States teenagers, founded in 1991[3] and located at La Ceiba Cascajal, 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) west of Orotina, province of Alajuela, Costa Rica.

[7] A new WWASP facility called Pillars of Hope was opened at the site of Academy at Dundee Ranch in 2004.

[16] The Costa Rican immigration authorities found that 100 of the 193 children enrolled in the program did not have appropriate migration papers.

[17] Because of the closure U.S. Representative George Miller asked U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft to investigate WWASP.

During the trial the prosecutor told the court that there was insufficient evidence and testimony to link Lichfield to the crimes of which he was accused.
