Unreformed: the Story of the Alabama Industrial School for Negro Children
iHeartPodcastsIn 1968, police arrested five Black girls dressed in oversized military fatigues in Montgomery. The girls were runaways, escaping from a state-run reform school called the Alabama Industrial School for Negro Children in Mount Meigs, Alabama. The girls were determined to tell someone about the abuse they’d suffered there: physical and sexual violence, unlivable facilities, and grueling labor in the... more

- Great story WAY TO MANY ADD
Had to quit listening. As soon as the story gets going there is like 15 min of ads. And then it just keeps repeating. Unbearable. Why are podcast getting worse than Cable TV?

I am so glad I came across this podcast, I have gained much more insight into our history as well as understand how indeed history does shape our present. I think that Mt Meigs should not even exist with its dark and horrid history. Keep up the good work Josie! Thank you.

I had no idea about these kinds of “institutions” for children going into this podcast and I’m glad I stayed and learned about these beautiful people who endured so much evil and injustice. Josie did such a great job with sharing these people’s stories with us and articulating the brokenness of our “justice” system. The only issue I had was with the ads, which I know is most likely the distributors fault but I would have much rather preferred they be at the beginning and end instead of strewn th... more

Excellent and important series. I feel more knowledgeable about what may cause an adult criminal, in some instances, to do what they done. That is the blueprint they may have been set with. Also makes me wonder about how many of these schools existed around the country. Well done and thank you.
Apple Podcasts5nerdynista01United States5 months ago - Outstanding reporting
This is not just a history podcast about an abusive reformatory in Alabama. It is about people who get trapped by institutions — trapped in routine cruelty that no one person is responsible for, and that almost everyone on the outside gets used to, so the abuse doesn’t even have to be hidden. I live in Alabama, about 100 miles from Mt. Meigs, and the front of that plantation-style campus is a familiar sight. My state is already too well known for its troubled schools, courts, and prisons. We pri... more
