Warden bears. ’
prison scars

By Michael Lawson -

"pp TORONTO(CP) — It has

beert’ 12“"yeut's since-Tom*
Murtoa left prison, but he
still carries the emotional
scars, : :
“Mutton, ‘incidentally, was
a warden not a prisoner. The

emotional scars are the —

result of beingstymied — not
to mention fired — by
bureaucrats in the midst of a
“ grotesque scandal arising
from his attempts at penal
reform. -

Murton, now 54, made
headlines in 1968 when, as. a-
Felatively new warden of the
Cummins prison’ ‘farm in

Arkansas, he got wind ‘of.

atrocities against prisoners:
“under previous prison

regimes. These, he charged, .

included. mutilation,- torture
and even murder of an
- estimated 200-plus convicts
whose deaths went
‘unreported.

Acting on a tip from one
-prisoner, a coffin maker,
Murton unearthed the
remains of three men on
prison grounds before the
prison board ordered him to
back off; then-Gov. Win-
throp Rockefeller ‘promised
a full inquiry on the matter
— it never took place — and
‘Murton was immediately
fired. Officially, the site of
the: burials was labelled a
pauper’s cemetery.

After more than a decade,
Murton’ and his experiences -
are back int the news, thanks
to a powerful film from
Twentieth Century Fox.
Brubaker, starring Robert
Redford as a single-minded
prison reformist, is more
than loosely based on Murton

; and the Cummins Incident.
I ‘oronto recently on a
promotional junket, Murton
said his days of active
participation in penal reform
are over.

feature is accurate. Much of
the screen action is con-
tained in Murton’s shocking
1969 book Accomplices to the
Crime, information which he

epeated two years later in a

“It deals with the total
acope of the institution and
raises the issues of whether
reform is atlainable. It
distinguishes beiweén real
reform and pseudo reform.

“People will go out of the
theatre debating whether
Redford was wrong. or

whether “the - governor's:

office was wrong.”

eliminating the corrupt
