Inmate Edge Reveals Secret Mission at Tucker Cumsmins
On May 17, 1967, fewer than 20 inmates observed a covert operation with about 15 coming to the infirmary for treatment. Convict X said investigators faced distrust as convict testimony is often discredited, prompting direct pursuit of evidence. Some inmates were pre-warned and cooperated, while no other investigator had posed as an inmate at Tucker or Cumsmins to gather firsthand information.
