Young people sent to a state-run boot camp on Great Barrier Island
were made to dig what they were told would be their own graves and
concerned staff blowing the whistle were ignored, according to a Weekend Herald investigation.
Residents of the camp were allegedly subjected to a culture described as akin to Lord of the Flies that resulted in one boy circumcising himself with a blunt knife in order to leave the island.
