St Brutus's Secure Centre for Incurably Criminal Boys

St. Brutus' Secure Center for Incurably Criminal Boys is an institution for "mentally subnormal" and violent adolescent males. This was the center that Vernon Dursley told his sister Marge he was sending Harry Potter to school. He asserted that the institution used canes to beat inmates to keep them under control.

Harry was forced to pretend he was in fact being sent to St. Brutus' in exchange for Vernon's signature on his Hogsmeade permission slip.
