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. The Utah Boys Ranch has recently come under fire, some former residents claiming that the Utah Boys Ranch is an abusive facility that denies children basic civil rights and indoctrinates them with Mormon theology.
