Johnson Professor Stuart Kirsch Professor Heather Ann Thompson Cyrus J. O’Brien [email protected] [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0003-0620-0938 © Cyrus J. O’Brien 2018 Acknowledgements Acknowledgements are the first thing I read when I pick up a book or browse through a dissertation, and they always put me in a good mood. I love the ways they speak to networks of camaraderie, convey thanks to amazing mentors, pay homage to intellectual genealogies, acknowledge long-lasting relationships to people and places, situate the author institutionally, and celebrate friendships and other joys of life. Like many dissertation writers, I have many relationships to celebrate and much to be grateful for. What follows is a woefully inadequate message of thanks. First and foremost, I thank the people who helped with this research whom I am unable to name. Scores of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people helped me figure out what was happening in Florida prisons, and I am indebted to each of them. I also want to thank the many volunteers and prison staff who generously talked with me, answered my questions, and helped me understand their work and lives. I particularly want to thank the handful of men at Wakulla who transcended the roles of “research participants” to become my friends and collaborators.

  • Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys Abuse Investigation
    January 29, 2010 Case No. EI-04-0005 Florida Department of Law Enforcement OFFICE OF EXECUTIVE INVESTIGATIONS Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys Abuse Investigation INVESTIGATIVE SUMMARY INVESTIGATIVE PREDICATE On December 9, 2008, Governor Charlie Crist directed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to investigate 32 unmarked graves located on property surrounding the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, Florida. The request was made due to abuse allegations brought forth by individuals known as “The White House Boys Survivors Organization.” The individuals are former students who attended the reformatory school during the late 1950’s through 1960’s and who allege that during their tenure they were subjected to repeated physical abuse by staff members as a form of discipline. The individuals believe there may be fellow students who died from the abuse and therefore may be buried at the school cemetery. Governor Crist requested that FDLE determine: 1) The entity that owned or operated the property at the time the graves were placed, 2) Identification, where possible, of the remains of those individuals buried on the site and 3) Determine if any crimes were committed, and if so, the perpetrators of those crimes. On May 14, 2009, FDLE concluded parts 1 and 2 of Governor Crist’s directive regarding 1) The identification/ownership of the property known as the Boot Hill Cemetery and 2) The identification of those students who died and were buried at the cemetery (FDLE Case Summary EI-73-8455). The purpose of this report is to address allegations of physical abuse that occurred from 1940 through 1969, and determine 1) The person or persons responsible and 2) If said abuse rises to a level that would warrant criminal prosecution.

    'White House Boys' win inquiry of reform school graves - CNN.com Page 1 of 3 Powered by 'White House Boys' win inquiry of reform school graves Story Highlights Four former reform school students in residents push for investigation Florida authorities agree to investigate after governor's request There are 32 graves on land of former Florida School for Boys The former residents call their group the White House Boys By Rich Phillips CNN Senior Producer MARIANNA, Florida (CNN) -- Four men, now in their 60s, met over the Internet, shared stories about the darkest days of their pasts and spurred an investigation into 32 graves at a reform school. Roger Kiser, Michael McCarthy, Bryant Middleton and Dick Colon talked about whippings and beatings and other boys who disappeared. They discussed the 32 crosses marking the graves of persons unknown on the grounds of the former Florida Industrial School for Boys. They called their group the White House Boys, taking the name from the single story concrete building where, they say, boys were beaten and tortured decades ago. The White House Boys believe that delinquents and orphans sent to the concrete White House were killed and their remains buried to cover up the brutality. This week, the four called on Florida Gov. Charlie Crist to investigate. Crist agreed and asked the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to search for remains, identify them and determine whether any crimes were committed. The department agreed to look into the mystery of the 32 crosses on the grounds of what is now known as the Dozier School, in Marianna, just south of the Alabama state line.

  • House of Representatives Final Bill Analysis Summary Analysis
    HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FINAL BILL ANALYSIS BILL #: HB 7115 FINAL HOUSE FLOOR ACTION: SUBJECT/SHORT Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys 117 Y’s 0 N’s TITLE SPONSOR(S): Judiciary Committee; Harrison; GOVERNOR’S Stafford and others Approved ACTION: COMPANION None BILLS: SUMMARY ANALYSIS HB 7115 passed the House on April 18, 2017, and subsequently passed the Senate on May 5, 2017. From January 1, 1900, to June 30, 2011, the state operated a reform school in the panhandle town of Marianna, Florida. The school operated under several different names: the Florida State Reform School (1900-1913), the Florida Industrial School for Boys (1914-1957), the Florida School for Boys (1957-1967), and the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys (1967- 2011). In recent years, former students of the school have come forward to report repeated abuse by staff members, including severe beatings at a structure on school grounds known as the “White House.” These men believe that fellow students may have died from abuse and are buried on school grounds. In 2012, researchers from the University of South Florida (USF) began an investigation to determine the location of children buried at the school in order to excavate and repatriate the remains to their families. In January 2016, the researchers issued a report of their findings. The researchers analyzed historical records and determined that nearly 100 boys aged 6 to 18 died at the school between 1900 and 1973. During the investigation, the researchers excavated 55 graves and discovered 55 sets of human remains on the school grounds, only 13 of which were located in Boot Hill Cemetery on Dozier school property.
