Jerce was accused of being a gang member based on a Real Madrid-inspired tattoo and a "rock-and-roll" hand gesture he made on social media. For this, he was disappeared from the US and sent to one of the most infamous prisons in the world, where he endured "countless" beatings

Kip, whose story is featured on this list, spoke to me because he didn't want to continue being the reason other people got locked up for life for crimes they committed as kids
huffpost.com
At 15, he shot and killed his parents, two classmates at his school, and wounded 25 others. He’s been used as the reason to lock kids up for life ever since.

After 3 consecutive profitable years, HuffPost had a slight decrease in revenue last year. Management responded with devastating cuts and refused to share information proving it was financially necessary. I strongly suspect it's because it was not.
