Files of Theartrice Williams, 1972-1981 (bulk 1972-1978).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/313786808

Files kept by Theartrice Williams, Minnesota's first Ombudsman for Corrections, serving from 1972-1982. The files, which include correspondence, budget materials, reports, and related materials, provide a fairly accurate look at conditions in Minnesota's prisons in the 1970s, particularly through the incident and deaths/suicides files from the Minnesota State Prison and State Reformatory for Men. Also documented are the office's relations with the state's various correctional institutions, particularly the Stillwater prison; the Department of Corrections; and the Governor's Commission on Crime Prevention and Control. Housed with Williams' files are a chronological series of official recommendations to corrections agency officials suggesting specific administrative actions (1972-1978). They include correspondence and related documents.
