message: There should at least be a mention of the Dozier school. Methinks some upset citizens are getting in the way of that.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.250.234.144 (talk) 01:07, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  General poor quality 

message: I deleted the phrase "The Chipola River runs through the heart of Marianna", as it actually marks the eastern boundry. While I suspect some peotic meaning was implied, and many if not the bulk of the local busniesses are on the other side of that boundry, the article is likely to be taken litteraly and the wording suggests the river runs through the middle of town.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.159.89.194 (talk) 14:57, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Marianna is also the location of the now-closed Florida Industrial Reform School for Boys, where former students (who are now senior citizens) allege that during the 1940s, 50's and 60's, students were subjected to a routine of severe brutality and abuse, consisting of violent beatings and even murder at the hands of employees and administrators. A 2009 investigation by the State of Florida failed to uncover any evidence to support this allegation, and claimed that the 31 marked graves on the property were victims of a 1914 fire and flu outbreaks. The investigation was further hampered due to the passage of time, since most of the former school employees have since died. In October 2012, a forensic search of the property by a scientific team headed by Dr. Erin Kimmerle, an anthropologist from the University of South Florida, identified an additional 18 previously unknown graves within the cemetery and the adjoining property, as well as another cemetery, which may possibly contain the bodies of black students, buried in a different area due to segregation, making a total of 49 unidentified graves. Families of missing students have raised questions and concern toward the fate of their family members in the aftermath of the investigation, and as of October 2012 it is still ongoing. The investigation is also under a time constraint, because the State of Florida is in the process of selling the 1,400 acre property.
Since all of the information is now extremely easy to verify or refute, maybe it's time to restore some of it. Twang (talk) 22:03, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
