Boys' Ranch of West Texas a Haven for Delinquents
Brewster and Jeff Davis Counties boast few juvenile delinquents and favor community efforts. When a youth errs, Judge C E Patterson and County Attorney Bruce Sutton prefer nonpunitive measures before sending them to reformatories. Boys Ranch near Tankersley offers 968 acres of pasture and farm land where youths perform chores and leave with improved behavior. One alumnus became an honor student at Texas A&M. The non profit facility relies on voluntary donations and serves 36 West Texas counties.
