General Note
The Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, Florida, was a high risk residential commitment facility operated by the Department of Juvenile Justice for male youth 13 to 21 years of age who were committed by the Court. The school originally opened in 1900 as the Florida State Reform School. It was later known as the Florida Industrial School for Boys (1914-1957), the Florida School for Boys (1957-1967), and finally the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys. The school closed in 2011.
Note inscribed above the entrance of the building in the background is a quote from poet Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Sooner or later that which is now life shall be poetry, and every fair and manly trait shall add a richer strain to the song."
