Every year, the price of a four year education at Stanford University buys each of these children horrifying physical, sexual, and psychological abuse behind the walls and fences of the California Youth Authority. At the age of nine, a family tragedy split up Dwight Abbott's family, and forced him into the hands of the California Youth Authority.
