The FLDS is a religious sect that broke away from the Mormon Church (or Latter-Day Saints).

The documentary Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey depicts how members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) were manipulated by church authorities, with Warren Jeffs, the church’s leader, at the center of it all. The FLDS, based on The Creek on the Arizona-Utah border, is a violent polygamist group that split from the Mormon Church over a century ago.

The docuseries takes an in-depth look at the FLDS’s clandestine polygamous cult, including never-before-seen archive material and harrowing personal accounts from some of the women and men who managed to flee Jeffs’ grasp. Warren’s deepest link was with his favorite wife, Naomi Jessop, his father’s third wife, who remained his closest confidante until his imprisonment.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, during Jeffs’s reign, church officials advocated underage marriage among the community, stating that it was all in the name of God. He was charged with criminal sexual contact with a juvenile and conspiracy to commit sexual conduct with a minor in 2005 by Arizona authorities. He was later charged with two counts of rape and was a co-conspirator in a 14-year-old girl’s marriage to her 19-year-old cousin in Utah.

In May 2006, Warren Jeffs was named on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. According to A & E, he was finally apprehended in Las Vegas in August 2006 with various cell phones, wigs, and disguises, as well as $55,000 in cash.

The state of Texas acquired the land in April 2013, according to The Salt Lake Tribune, and as of 2018, lifelong resident J.D. Doyle said the structures were all unoccupied and the government was just letting it rot.

He was placed in a medically induced coma by Texas prison doctors on August 29, 2011. Warren had gotten severely weak after fasting.
