- Die Florida School for Boys war eine von 1900 bis Juni 2011 bestehende Anstalt für schwer erziehbare Jugendliche ("Reform School") in Marianna, Florida. Bekannt wurde die Anstalt für schwere Misshandlungen der ihr anvertrauten Jugendlichen. Nach dem Bericht einer Untersuchungskommission aus dem Jahr 2010, die zu keinem eindeutigen Ergebnis kam, wurde die Institution ein Jahr später, offiziell aus ökonomischen Gründen geschlossen. (de)
- Florida School for Boys, también conocido como Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys (AGDS), fue un reformatorio gestionado por el gobierno de Florida (EE.UU.) en la localidad de Marianna entre el 1 de enero de 1900 y el 30 de junio de 2011. Por un tiempo fue el reformatorio más grande de los Estados Unidos. Un segundo campus fue abierto en la localidad de Okeechobee en 1955. A lo largo de sus 111 años de historia, el centro ganó reputación de cometer abusos, agresiones, violaciones, torturas e incluso asesinatos de las personas a su cargo. A pesar de las periódicas investigaciones, cambios en la dirección del centro, y promesas de cambios, las acusaciones de violación de los derechos humanos continuaron. Algunas de las acusaciones fueron confirmadas por investigaciones realizadas por el en 2010, y por la Civil Rights Division del Departamento de Justicia de los Estados Unidos en 2011. Las autoridades estatales clausuraron definitivamente el centro en junio de 2011. En septiembre de 2013 comenzaron una serie de excavaciones en la escuela Arthur Dozier, realizadas por los analistas del Laboratorio de Antropología Forense de la Universidad de South Florida; en diciembre encontraron los restos mortales de 55 personas, manteniéndose con posterioridad las investigaciones.

- The Florida School for Boys, also known as the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys (AGDS), was a reform school operated by the state of Florida in the panhandle town of Marianna from January 1, 1900, to June 30, 2011. A second campus was opened in the town of Okeechobee in 1955. For a time, it was the largest juvenile reform institution in the United States. Throughout its 111-year history, the school gained a reputation for abuse, beatings, rapes, torture, and even murder of students by staff. Despite periodic investigations, changes of leadership, and promises to improve, the allegations of cruelty and abuse continued. After the school failed a state inspection in 2009, the governor ordered a full investigation. Many of the historic and recent allegations of abuse and violence were confirmed by separate investigations by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in 2010, and by the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice in 2011. State authorities closed the school permanently in June 2011. At the time of its closure, it was a part of the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice. Because of questions about the number of deaths at the school and a high number of unmarked graves, the state authorized a forensic anthropology survey by University of South Florida in 2012. They identified 55 burials on the grounds, most outside the cemetery, and documented nearly 100 deaths at the school. The state said it did not have authority to allow exhumation of graves, which would permit determination of cause of death and identification of remains. In addition, it wanted to sell land on the property. A family member of a student who died at the school in 1934, and who wanted to reinter his remains, filed suit and gained an injunction against the state's moving ahead with the sale before remains could be exhumed and identified. The state responded to the court injunction and authorized more work by a multi-disciplinary team from the University of South Florida, including exhumations. In January 2016, the USF team issued its final report, having made seven DNA matches and 14 presumptive identifications of remains. They will continue to work on identification. Three times as many black as white students died and were buried at Dozier. After passage of resolutions by both houses of the legislature, on April 26, 2017, the state held a formal ceremony to apologize personally to two dozen survivors of the school and to families of other victims. In 2018, bills were being considered to provide some compensation to victims and their descendants, possibly as scholarships for children. In 2019, during preliminary survey work for a pollution clean-up, a further 27 suspected graves were identified by ground penetrating radar. Many people, including former detainees, believe that over 100 bodies were buried on the school's grounds, and that further investigating should be done until all the remains have been identified and cared for.
