Davis Leaves Prisons After Transforming Virginia System
In January 1973 Jack F. Davis, editor of The Star, oversaw a prison system special report and later became Virginia’s first Department of Corrections director. He left the post after nearly three years, with praise from the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot for transforming overcrowded, demoralized facilities into a developing model system with expanded beds, rehabilitation programs, and enhanced staff. Terrell Don Hutto named his successor.
