Saw this story in south Florida media this weekend. Again, the state investigated allegations of abuse in 2009 and found no definitive evidenced of crime. Keep in mind, the school DID NOT hide the cemetery--its existence are well known.

The implication is that Tallahassee....or Rick Scott, to be specific, is to blame for a cover-up. I even saw someone from the NAACP talking about the problems at the school....

Whatever happened at Dozier, one fact must NEVER be forgotten: the DEMOCRAT PARTY was at the head of the executive branch EXCLUSIVELY during the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, most of the 1960s....and the 70s.....

I don’t understand how these kids could be buried on school grounds.I do understand that some of them were poor and had no real family to speak of, but even then,why weren’t they buried in a cemetary?

Dozier was in operation for over a century and was basically a juvenile lockup.

Up until about 1960, disease would have taken a toll on the inmates. That 100 are buried there over a period spanning a century and a decade is not surprising.

This sounds like a lot of hype. Of course kids were beaten at reform schools. They were paddled at all schools, although I'm sure both the students and the faculty at reform schools play rougher. But the more grisly claims are without witnesses. A 14-year-old kid ran away from home and wound up dead? Happens today, with nobody telling yarns about the Klan.

A sane society can't do without reform schools. Where are we supposed to put the Trayvons? Today, we keep them in the public high school to prey on the other students, because the administrators collect more taxpayer money for every lawless punk they can claim is occasionally going to class at their school.

Real reform schools, run by religious brothers, had a track record of straightening at least some kids out.

Reminds me of the find of unmarked graves at Cummins Prison Farm in Arkansas years ago. The press ran with that story as far as they could before dropping it.

I knew a boy sent there in the mid-50’s for stealing his father’s car and going for a joyride.
He went there as a scared little 14 y.o.
Came out 2 yrs. later as a big mean 16 y.o. Big and really mean.
