No Longer Silent

The White House Boys speak out on abuses suffered at the hands of a Florida reform school.

The Ghosts of the Past

JJIE recently spoke with former residents of the Florida State Reform School in Marianna, now grown men, who weeped as they told of their horrifying experiences of beatings and abuse. The school was the site of an untold number of abuses of the young residents by staff throughout its more than 100 years of operation, before it was finally closed in 2011.
