“Some relatives of those found buried behind the jail simply thought they were missing. They object to having to pay a fee for the removal of their loved one’s remains that are needed for a proper burial.”

    I grew up near the Florida school and I remember hearing horror stories about it as a child. And it was always used as a threat by teachers for unruly students.

      It was a truly horrible place.

      If you don’t still live there, or haven’t heard of it recently, the site’s been partly excavated (authorized by Gov. Rick Scott) starting 10 years ago. Several men sent there as boys and still living testified about it in 2007. The most recent news I heard (in 2019) was that 27 more graves had been found. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article229136219.html

        I moved away 20 years ago, and I still hate going back to Florida for any family event, that state was a horrible place to grow up.
