The podcast episodes from 'Patient Zero' and 'Bear Brook' provide a deep dive into the abuse scandal at the Youth Development Center (YDC), New Hampshire's juvenile detention facility.
The episodes feature the personal story of Andy Perkins, a former YDC inmate who experienced and reported the abuse, only to have his attempts systematically ignored. The episodes investigate the widespread abuse that occurred at YDC over decades.
The YDC is the central focus and setting of the entire investigation across these podcast episodes.
