General Note
The 19 year old inmate, Arthur Maillefert, died in the Sunbeam Prison Camp in Florida. He was strangled by the chain that held him in place while he was unable to help himself to stand again because his feet were in stocks. The Maillefert case of abuse received much attention and was even steadily reported on in the New York Times.
