 When the citizen's family was discovered to have been hiding his mutant younger brother for twelve years, the whole family was incarcerated for their crime, while the child was deported from the city to a mutant internment camp in the Cursed Earth.Unable to cope, the child died, and his body was fed to the pigs, mutants not being considered worthy of a decent burial.This is the first mention in "Judge Dredd" of mutant camps for city-born mutants, which would later be stated to be compulsory until the mutant became 16 – after that, they are supposedly free to leave if they choose.
