Mass Murderer Speck Says He Is Home At Stateville Prison
Richard Speck, eight-nurses killer, says he is at ease in Stateville prison and expects to die there after his death sentence was commuted to eight terms. He has been denied parole, favors privacy on crime questions, and claims he has changed since 1969. He paints walls, supports current wardens, and dismisses talk of release despite ongoing September 1984 parole consideration.
