400. Carlisle Indian Reform School

At the Carlisle Boarding School in Pennsylvania some teenagers died from various illnesses but also from sheer depression.

Now the families will try to get the bodies back home so they can get graves relatives can visit.

When a place is so bad that you can die from sheer depression it is safe to say that it cannot have been fun to be there as a teenager.

2021 update

Some of the remains of children who died at the school were returned back to the place where they came from.
