    About this ebook

    It was around 10:30 pm, the sky all around was pitch black apart from a few twinkling stars. Thirty-eight prison inmates were burned to their death one Saturday night back in 1971.

    It was the last standing segregated work camp in the whole state of Florida. No whites were allowed to do time there. That is, until the truth and facts about why was kept hush-hush and swept under the rug by prison authorities and never since been told.

    Until now.

    People in general, especially family members of the deceased deserve to know the truth. Don't you think?
