Looks to me like you have already answered this question;

This course is free for them. They get rewarded every evening for following the rules and behaving during the day. They're given 'chances' but if they keep breaking rules they get sent home.

Which part of the 'normal' school environment allows teachers to reward the kids every night for good behaviour ?
From what you have described you are working as a care assistant on a course for delinquents. As you have already stated these kids have already crossed the line for behavioural problems and they have been sent away for a few weeks. No wonder they stick to the rules, they misbehaved in the first place and what do they get ?a nice holiday wth treats. How the hell is a nornal school supposed to install discipline in them if they see the rewards for bad behaviour. In fact how do many parents compete with that ? Neither are in a position to 'reward' the kids in their charge every night.
