“A century-old Florida state school for troubled boys is now the site of a forensic investigation after more than 50 bodies were discovered, some in unmarked graves, next to a garbage dump on the side of campus where the African-American students were housed.  Students like Richard Huntley, who was sent to the school in the late fifties, told Al Jazeera that he and his fellow inmate-students were forced to do farm work under dangerous conditions under threats of worse. ‘This, to me, is a form of slavery,’ he said, ‘because they, damn it, beat you to what they wanted you to be.’ Boys who didn’t comply with orders were sent to ‘The White House,’ which Huntley likened to a ‘torture chamber.'”
