I am a writer seeking former inmates of the boys reform school in Boonville and the people who worked there. I also am looking for information about deceased former inmates of the school and for any photos taken of the facility before it became a men's prison in 1983.

I am researching to write a book about the experiences of these young men and boys incarcerated there, and possibly an overview of the history of Missouri's juvenile corrections system. Any help is appreciated.

You may private message me on this web site.

I have re-registered under a new name after relocating to Florida and losing my password for my old username. I am still searching for former inmates of this facility.
