Major changes urged after Tennessee penitentiary break
A three man committee urged sweeping reforms at the Tennessee state penitentiary after the November 10 escape that left a convict dead and Deputy Warren C. Wends seriously wounded. The report cites no schooling of guards, low pay, political influence in appointments, and lax control inside the walls. It faults warden and deputies for allowing arms among guards and notes eight guards were in the yard during the truck intrusion. Three guards left their post as prisoners approached, and a tower guard admitted fear prevented action.
