Hole for Women Inmates Sealed Off at Oklahoma Prison
The Hole, a dungeon like detention area for women at the McAlester state prison, will be sealed Monday and inmates moved above ground. Commissioner Jim Cook says the underground cells will be closed and two new wings added to modernize the Women’s Ward. An anonymous letter alleged dark, vermin filled conditions and poor medical care, but officials say the underground setting caused more psychological stress than physical harm.
