Dozier School for Boys

Hundreds of people who say they suffered physical or sexual abuse at two state-run reform schools in Florida are in line to receive tens of thousands of dollars in restitution from the state, after Florida lawmakers formally apologized for the horrors they endured as children more than 50 years ago.

State lawmakers approved a program to provide reparations for brutality suffered by kids at the Dozier School for Boys in Marianna and the Okeechobee School in south Florida.

The Supreme Court decision rejected a series of arguments, including claims related to abuse Cole suffered as a teenager at the state’s notorious Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys in Marianna.

Nearly two dozen men, most of them elderly, peppered Attorney General Ashley Moody’s staff Monday with questions about a $20 million program that will compensate them for brutality they endured at the notorious Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys in Marianna and Okeechobee School in South Florida.

A $20 million program will give financial restitution to students who endured abuse and neglect at the hands of the state.
