A Throughout different levels of the
organization, discipline varies from someone losing a
position maybe, even something much more severe.

Q Is there a place where people who are
disciplined go to?

A Yes. If you are a member of the Sea

Organization, which is an internal organization within

Scientology, it’s like a fraternal organization that runs

Scientology.

Q Is that the organization that is down in
Clearwater?

A Yes, Flag Land Base. Those people can be sent
to what is called the RPF, which stands for
Rehabilitations Project Force. It is basically a gulag,
or boot camp where they send dissidents or people that
have failed at something, too. They send them there to
pretty much anything they want them to do. You are
subjected to harsh treatment, corporal punishment, manual
labor.

Q Is Scientology essentially based upon rewards
and punishments?

A Yes, it is.

Q So when it says, “Not to be subject to any
discipline.” That is understood by the members?

A Correct.
