The more I read Chris from molino comments The more l feel like he should be reported to someone this guy says he witnessed at least two people beat to death and made it sound like he wasn’t guilty because he didn’t participate that is murder whether he participated or not especially if he didn’t report what he seen now he may just be another idiot talking about something he has no clue about but all the same I think it needs to be investigated

@ Chris in molino it seems to me you didnt last either because you are on here posting about seeing men beat to death instead of reporting it what good did it do to watch the beatings and not report them you could have saved a life by reporting it

@chris in molino you just admitted that you watch people beat to death but did nothing about the only thing you can say was you didn’t participate did you report what you seen if not why not.

@CD That alone is heart–breaking… for a parent to not care about their own child. I’m too idealistic for this world! Either way, I still feel it shouldn’t be made into a recreational area.

The folks of Marianna can look the other way or be complicit all they want to. Same as FDOC. Build these prisons in podunk towns where most of the people of that county is employed or has family employed by the state. These are areas where 3 generations of gaurds have worked for the same prison. Up until 2000 that I know of, inmates would get off the bluebird at FSP and one would get stomped into the ground just to let everyone know where they were. I never participated although i’ve seen several inmates beat to death for no good reason. It’s bad habit and mentality. FDOC has been aware of everything although only act when forced by the court or most recently, social media, public perception, and media. Some of the gaurds who post on here whining all the time wouldn’t last a month in Region 2.

So Sad when reading a story like this. One hundred and eleven years. How can the people of Marianna that lived and worked there, live with themselves? I understand from a personal case of a unruly child that sometimes it is just about beyond being able to cope with. I think in times like this parents should give the best they got to try to get across to this child the understanding that he is Important, Loved and that God never makes a mistake. I am like others that have spoke in the form, NOW Something should be done to clear the air. As for as the property I feel that the property should be cleared beautified and set up at State Expense to remember these children and to be a constant reminder to those that did not speak up when they could have to BURN in their Minds. SAD SAD!!!

Wards of the state?? Who is the states ward??? For 73 years there was a mini holocaust going on under the eye of the state of Florida, a closed eye that is. No child could be that misbehaved to deserve this horror.

The citizens of Marianna are “complicit” with what went on at Dozier.
They had knowledge of what was going on because those that lived near were working there.
The City leaders have protested any and all investigations into what all happened there and strongly tried to stop the latest investigations.
Shame on them all.

Some of the boys who survived, could possibly obtain the names and locations of their surviving antagonist.

Remember me? Can you imagine the look on their face and the chill down their spine.

I am not a person to hold a grudge, but I do want every gram of flesh that is due to me, when such can be facilitated with low to med personal risk.

Sometimes you get them, sometimes you simply have to let them be. God gets everyone at games end. It is not like anyone gets away.
