Utah Boys Ranch, now known as West Ridge Academy, is a Mormon reeducation camp for children.
The Utah Boys Ranch was founded by the prominent Mormon Lowell L Bennion in 1967, although it is unclear how long he actually maintained a leadership position.
Eventually ownership changed hands, and Utah Senator Chris Buttars became the executive director, and remained so for fifteen years before retiring in the face of some IRS problems. Buttars sponsored a bill to give the ranch government oversight.
The Utah Boys Ranch is a private, nonprofit school and treatment facility for troubled youth.
