About this episode
The episode explores the troubling history of a juvenile detention center in New Hampshire and the shocking revelations about its treatment of troubled youth.
New Hampshire has sent its most troubled kids to the same juvenile detention center for more than a century. It's a place that was supposed to nurture them, that instead hurt them – in some of the worst ways imaginable. A place that for decades was a black box that people are finally seeing into, and what they’re finding is absolutely shocking. How did this happen? How did it finally come to light?
