343 - The Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys
Manage episode 508061920 series 3325124
Today's episode is a pretty grim one. The Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys was a reform school operated by the state of Florida in Marianna, Fl that first opened in 1900. While the name changed over the years, one thing didn't: constant rumors and reports of abuse at the school. The school was finally closed in 2011 after pressure was brought from a group of former residents calling themselves the white house boys, named after an infamous building on campus where abuse and torture occurred. After the school was closed, more than 50 unmarked graves have been found on the property and many more are assumed to still be unfound. The resting place of boys killed and quietly disposed of. The search for the identity of many of these boys is still ongoing today.
