Elan School shortly before it closed
For more than 30 years teenagers suffered at this so-called school. Teenagers were thrown into a boxing ring where they had to defend themselves against not only one opponent but as many who could fit into the ring. They were severely beaten. Confessions were forced and often untrue. A man even had to go to jail due to a murder he was forced to confess to and remains in jail today.
Words cannot describe slightly how awful it was to be teenager forced to live at this place.
