Louis de la Parte: A Crusading Champion For Florida's Forgotten
Back in the days when the mentally ill were shuttered away in institutions and
troubled children faced cruel conditions in jails and reform schools, one lawmaker
stood alone as the champion for reform. His name was Louis de la Parte, and what
he saw in Florida's mental hospitals, prisons and juvenile reform schools enraged
him so much that he dedicated his leadership to reforming the system. Twenty
years later, de la Parte called for the reformation of HRS because of its ballooning
inefficiencies. He would make unannounced visits to state institutions, then
present fellow legislators with irrefutable testimony that spurred sweeping
reforms. When the director of the state's reform school for boys in Marianna was
fired for whipping children, then reinstated by a powerful politician, de la Parte
drove to the school and found the blood-splattered shed where the abuse had
occurred.
