Warden Welcomes Legislative Prison Probe in Carson City
Warden Charles Wolff Jr and ACLU along with American Friends Committee representatives urged the Assembly Legislative Functions Committee to approve a legislative inquiry into Nevada’s troubled state prison. Reno figures Seigel and Rusco of the ACLU and Geri Alcamo of the Friends Committee pushed for broad citizen involvement. Assemblyman Lawrence Jacobsen urged appointing insiders to lead the study, warning against a mere symbolic effort. The committee took no immediate action and will review ACR-1 with Glover planning to confer with Senate committee leaders.
