Gatesville Today

The tyc stopped sending boys to the Gatesville school in 1975 unless they were an escape risk or as in the summer of 1975 the other schools were full, or you wouldn’t have sex with the goat roper caseworker chick in Brownwood who ran was the nazi in charge of who went where. I may have been locked up but she did nothing for me. The school was fully closed down to boys in 1981 and the facilities were transferred back to the department of corrections. Anyone who has ever set foot on that place knew it was never, culturally, transferred to what was called the juvenile training school in 1913. So now the good citizens of Coryell county and the surrounding area have moved on from the economy of abusing children to an economy of abusing women.
See what the state has done to the old Gatesville State School for Boys today.

The Gatesville School was segregated.

Is there anyone who could share some comments about the time when the school was segregated? I found this photo on the web of the old dining hall behind and an old dorm at Live Oak School. I had upholstery shop in the right downstairs dormitory in that building. Most of the guards who were there back during that time did not want to talk about how bad the African American boys were treated. Was Riverside all an black school as well or were the names Live Oak and Riverside given after the school was expanded? I heard that Riverside was used to raise hogs.
