A.V. Gallagher argues that Governor Arch Moore’s order to close state prisons to new prisoners is illegal. He suggests extreme remedies involving jail staff, Dodrill’s officers, and court action, then calls for prison reform. The piece ends by noting the 1942 U.S. internment program for Japanese Americans.
