Hatcher Criticizes Grand Jury Report On Reformatory Riots
Gary Mayor Richard Hatcher denounces the Madison County grand jury findings as a whitewash after the Sept. 26 riot at the Indiana Reformatory. He cites killings of a black youth and injuries to 46 blacks at close range and says the report fails to address core reform issues. Prosecutor William Lawler Jr. responds he was surprised by the mayor’s critique. A reformatories guard was later fired for disobeying orders and admits firing into inmates during the riot.
