Strother to push warden post outside civil service
Rep T J Strother of Allen Parish said he will introduce legislation to move the warden’s job at Angola out from civil service control. He argues the warden should answer to the governor legislature and the board of institutions and would like acting warden H L Hanchey kept in the post though he does not meet civil service rules. Three out of state candidates have qualified since Victor Walker resigned last summer. The position moved to civil service years ago to curb turnover of political appointees at the prison.
