What's this book? Boys in Hell's Kitchen push a trolley down a subway stairwell

[PorridgeAgainAbney]

I think it's set when they are adults and one is now a cop and I think the boys were sent to a correction centre because of the trolley incident where they were treated badly which led to one of them possibly killing one of the perpetrators? I might have got some of that completely wrong though .

I really want to read it again!

Sleepers

Was made into a film too.

Sleepers. or at least that is what the film adaptation was called

Sleepers? Haven't read the book but saw the film.

Yep, Sleepers. Didn't know it was a book, remember watching the film as a teen.

Yay, thanks everyone! I've just checked on Amazon and it is Sleepers. I never knew it was a film so I might see if I can watch it as well .
