William C Wilson appeals for freedom from Iowa reformatory
An 11 year old inmate at Anamosa reformatory claims unlawful detention as a juvenile in a felon facility. William C Wilson formerly of Des Moines seeks reversal of a Cedar Rapids federal ruling upholding transfer from Eldora Boys Training School to the reformatory. He argues due process was denied and notes he was never indicted or tried for any crime. The case was allowed to proceed without court costs. Wilson first appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court in May 1966, which upheld a prior decision on transfer.
