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. It's now at the center of one of the biggest youth detention scandals in American history. How did this happen – and how did it finally come to light?

The Black Box

For three decades, Andy Perkins didn’t talk about what happened to him at a place called YDC – the Youth Development Center.
