The Dozier School for Boys: Forensics, Survivors, and a Painful Past by Elizabeth A MurrayMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Reading this non-fiction narative of the horrible long-lived "reform school" in Northern Florida once known as the Florida Industrial School was a stomach-churning experience, rendered all the more horrifying knowing that this wasn't a fictional work of extreme horror or "splatterpunk." This was 111 years of utter horror, humiliation, degradation, slavery, and rape, inflicted on children. It's impossible not to weep copious tears while reading, despite the author's calm and factual narrative.
