Hundreds of teen-age boys were kept in prison until they were 18 years old, the legal age of execution. Exactly how many of them were killed after two to three years in prison we do not know, but the facts about more than a score of such cases have been verified; in the minds of all free and decent people, the horror of this affair remains unabated.
