Christmas Day. It's the day everyone wants off from work. Unfortunately, in 1982 it was also the day a riot broke out at FCI Petersburg, and that riot claimed the life of a Federal Bureau of Prisons employee.

Today’s episode focuses on the killing of an FCI El Reno correctional officer assigned to the prison chapel, a role centered on access and trust, who was murdered by Nation of Islam–affiliated inmates—an act that left lasting questions about warning signs, security, and accountability.

In 1974, an officer with less than a year on the job lost his life in one of the most violent inmate-on-staff assaults in BOP history. Surprisingly, or perhaps unsurprisingly, this is a type of things to come.

Senior Officer Selle wasn't the only victim of a coordinated series of events: a disturbance, a hostage situation, and a fire at USP Leavenworth. He was, however, the only fatality. Credit where it’s due: Thanks to royalty-free-music.com

Children can be just as dangerous as adults, just ask Mr. Latimer.
The second episode covering the "Battle of Alcatraz," this time we meet Correctional Officer William B. Miller. Officer Miller endured more than any correctional officer should have to: he was beaten, thrown into a cell, and an inmate got his hands on a gun and shot him. Through all that, before he died Miller was able to communicate the identity of his killer. He gave more than he was ever asked to give, and we honor him here by sharing his story.

The infamous "Battle of Alcatraz" lasted roughly two full days. Inmates and correctional staff traded shots until the military was called in to assist and ultimately ended the standoff. The inmates who were responsible, those that survived, got their day in court. Fifteen officers were wounded and one, Correctional Officer Harold P. Stites, was killed. It's more than just an, "Officer killed while on duty" scenario, however. What happened to Officer Stites was tragic and horrifying. Details not discussed elsewhere are covered here.

Here is the story (and my observations) of the first correctional worker to die in the line of duty at USP Alcatraz. In case you haven't noticed, I've moved from pre-written post episode commentary to more free form. Is that a good idea? A bad one? Leave a comment where ever you're listening and let me know what you think. Credit where it's due: Intro/outro music is "motivational background music" courtesy of Alex Productions.
