Roger Dean Kiser is a survivor of one of North Florida darkest periods: The Florida Industrial School for Boys at Marianna which systematically abused and tortured hundreds of young boys and even took some of their lives.
Special Guests and White House Boys, Roger Dean Kiser and Andrew Puel - The truth behind the 2010 Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigative report on the molestations, rapes, murders and bloody abuses occurring at the Florida Industrial School for Boys at Marianna and Oakeechobee. This story is more about a feeling of desperation than it is about the actual beating(s) itself. The pain a child feels when being degraded and made to feel that one is totally worthless; that they are all alone and totally helpless is a very difficult feeling to express. It is a feeling that is never forgotten. The men, when telling their stories of abuse, try to express those feelings in more of a physical manner, a manner in which others might be able to somewhat comprehend their pain as well as their sorrow.
