:22:01
The man you stabbed...
:22:03
is a very important member
of this community,
:22:07
and you are going down.
:22:11
Do you see ?
:22:12
And I am gonna
see to it
personally.
:22:18
As for you, Rubin Carter,
you're a menace to society.
:22:22
If something isn't done
about you soon, you'll become
a dangerous man in later life.
:22:26
I only wish you were old enough
I could send you
to the state prison.
:22:30
[ Crying ]
l there fore
sentence you...
:22:33
to the state home for boys
in Jamesburg...
:22:36
from this day
till you're 21 years of age.
:22:39
[ Whimpering ]
So be it.
:22:41

Jamesburg was
a place of horror...
:22:46
that l would be forever sorry
to have known existed.
:22:50
lt was there that l spent
the next eight years
learning how to maim, butcher...
:22:54
and fight for my survival.
:23:08
l don't get what's going on.
l'm the boy's father.
:23:12
I'll take care of him.
I don't know what you people--
:23:15
I mean, what's it to you ?
:23:18
Mr. Martin,
we've gotten to know Lesra
over the past few weeks.
:23:22
I gotta tell you,
he's got more natural
ability and enthusiasm...
:23:25
than just about any kid
l've ever worked with.
:23:29
So when he told us
he wanted to go to college,
:23:33
we figured that's the way
it was gonna be.
:23:35
Well,
I know he's smart.
:23:39
There's no doubt about that,
but, uh,
:23:41
he can't read,
Mrs. Martin.
:23:44
But we think
we could teach him.
:23:46
I mean, within two years,
with a lot of work we could
get him ready for college.
:23:50
Well, that school's
sure not doing it.
:23:52
Now wait.
I am that boy's father.
:23:55
But if they can give him--
They're talking to me,
Alma.
:23:57
Uh, Mr. Martin,
:23:59
we've got plenty of room.
