Resignation Reflects Hopeless Arkansas Prison Reform
Tucker Prison Farm assistant superintendent Robert A. Van Winkle quit citing pressure and a hopeless prison system in Arkansas. He blamed near starvation conditions and lack of support, noting the board’s distrust of him as a Murton ally. Van Winkle plans to return to Alaska, hoping inmates’ involvement kept some reform alive. The move follows reforms associated with Thomas Murton and ongoing budget objections by lawmakers and Gov. Rockefeller’s administration.
