Best Announces List of Inmates for Serum Test

Of the 800 inmates who originally volunteered for the tests, Warden Roy Best narrowed the list down to 25 inmates. Notably, every individual on the list was serving a life sentence, the majority of whom were convicted of murder. This list would be narrowed down to 12 inmates, and two would be tested on at a time.
