[ 5.0 stars ] "Most of us who lived through the 1950s and 60s became aware of the abuse against African Americans that was endemic in the South, but few could have imagined the horrors that were taking place in juvenile detention facilities, which were, in fact, slave labor camps.

[ 5.0 stars ] "For this reader, the insights in Denny Abbott's "They Had No Voice" came with a certain grudging feeling that "Yup. That's the way it happens."
