Murderers Are Best Prisoners Declares Warden Hill
Warden Henry C. Hill told the prison legislative committee at the old penitentiary that murderers in heat of passion make model prisoners. He discussed a dormitory system for 450 inmates to be built east of the women’s prison, with five one story buildings housing 220 convicts each, no cells, barred windows, and a surrounding wire fence. He warned that young offenders cause more trouble but said classification plans aim to reduce unrest.
