Inmates Demand Demotion of Prison Spokeswoman
Inmates at Rhode Island's maximum security prison sent a telegram to Gov. Noel demanding the demotion of Corrections Department spokeswoman Lillian McDaniel over remarks about the late October lockup. Tom Ross, head of the National Prisoners' Reform Association, claimed McDaniel blamed inmates for the lockup and accused guards of heavy-handed conduct. He said many workers lost jobs during the month-long shutdown. Ross noted most duty officers were new and poorly acquainted with prison routine. Warden James Mullen offered to catalog damaged inmate-made goods from the hobby shop, with items sold in the prison store.
