I think hexbear sent me here: https://elan.school/. Graphic novel about a troubled teen abuse camp stemming ultimately from Synanon. Content warning: this sent me into a funk for like a day.

The Elan School was like the worst of the worst, kids dying, fighting rings, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if it was being studied by some government institution while it was around.
