The Florida School for Boys was a reform school located in Marianna, Florida, established in 1900. It was designed to rehabilitate troubled youth, primarily boys who had committed minor offenses. The school aimed to provide education and vocational training, but it became notorious for reports of abuse and neglect. In the 1960s, allegations surfaced regarding the treatment of students, leading to investigations and legal actions. The school closed in 2011, and its legacy remains controversial, highlighting issues related to juvenile justice and the treatment of at-risk youth in institutions like the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice.
