The "Stolen Girls" were imprisoned 45 days without charge in brutal conditions in the Lee County Public Works building, the [[Leesburg Stockade]].<ref name="walb">{{citation|title=Stolen Girls remember 1963 in Leesburg|date=July 24, 2006|publisher=WALB|url=http://www.walb.com/story/5190050/stolen-girls-remember-1963-in-leesburg}}.</ref><ref name="gpb">{{citation|url=http://gpbnews.org/post/girls-leesburg-stockade|title=The Girls Of The Leesburg Stockade|first1=Bradley|last1=George|first2=Grant|last2=Blankenship|date=July 19, 2016|work=GPB News|publisher=[[NPR]]|access-date=December 17, 2019|archive-date=June 16, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200616151447/http://gpbnews.org/post/girls-leesburg-stockade|url-status=dead}}.</ref> It took SNCC photographer [[Danny Lyon]] smuggling himself into the Stockade to publicize the case nationally<ref name="gpb"/><ref name="walb"/><ref name="seeger">{{citation|title=Everybody Says Freedom: A history of the Civil Rights Movement in songs and pictures|first1=Pete|last1=Seeger|author1-link=Pete Seeger|first2=Bob|last2=Reiser|publisher=W.
