 They are sent somewhere upstate New York. In a few books it is mentioned that there are delicate brain operations performed on these criminals to remove their memories.
7. What makes the Doc Savage's "The Sea Magician" different from the other 180 adventures?

Answer: No one is killed.

 I love the last lines of this story! "'Since this dang thing started,' Monk explained, 'there ain't been a dang soul killed. Boy are we getting efficient!'"
8. When Bantam started reprinting the Doc Savage adventures in the early '60s how much did the paperback cost in Canadian money?

 9 were written by Norman Danberg, 4 by Alan Hathway and 3 by William Bogart. But all four authors used Kenneth Robeson as the pen name!

Answer: Philip Jose Farmer

 They even have Travis Mcgee, Philip Marlowe and James Bond on Doc Savage's family tree!
