TIL a Maine “troubled teen” school forced kids into fight clubs called “the ring,” where peers beat them as punishment. One teen died after a fight, and decades of abuse allegations eventually shut the school down in 2011.

Elan School was obviously a massive tragedy on all fronts but the concept of "we have to take care of a bunch of mentally ill teenagers, why not make them beat the shit out of each other?" is *so* fucked up it almost wraps around to being funny.
