Description
At 14, William Stokes was sentenced to Westbrook Farm Home for Boys after committing a series of petty crimes. Westbrook was then the most feared institution for boys in Queensland. Stokes' story of his years at Westbrook catalogue the horrors endured by children and young adults at the hands of the authorities, and how they managed to survive.
