The Florida School for Boys

Weird Distractions

For this weeks episode, lets (hypothetically) head down to Florida and learn the dark history surrounding the former Florida School for Boys - aka the Arthur G Dozier School. Once a reform school, this served as a home for many between January 1st, 1900, to June 30th, 2011. Rumours started to form early on that those sent to this, ‘school’ were being mistreated. Tune in now to learn more about the history documented of this place, and where things stand today. Need a distraction? I got you.
