...dawn darkness one day last week, an Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway mail train pulled off the main line and onto a siding about five miles south of the little cattle town of Springer, N. Mex., to let the Santa Fe's Los Angeles-bound streamliner, the Chief, roar past. As the mail train slid to a stop, Fireman Pete Camilo Caldarelli, 44, climbed down out of the locomotive and walked through the chill desert air to a switch up ahead.

...reporter for the Santa Fe New Mexican. Addington, a cigar-chomping exmarine, went on the "routine inspection" trip because the paper thought it might be helpful for a series that they were planning on juvenile delinquency. What Reporter Addington found was far from routine. In the state reformatory at Springer (The New Mexico Industrial School for Boys), he discovered that 1) some boys were as young as eight, 2) there was no real rehabilitation program, and 3) the facilities were pitifully inadequate. If the reformatory looked that bad on a guided tour, reasoned Addington, what must it be like when...
