David-
Finally had a chance to read your book. My compliments to both yourself and your daughter. Much of my time for many years has also been gathering material and information related to Ohio Prisons. I would really like the opportunity to discuss some of this with you. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Cordially,
James

have a similar problem, graduated in 1971, was actually the first graduate to go on to college from that place. my crime for being there? my mother was a jehovah’s witness, and i wanted a normal life; so i ran away a lot.
Actually, her religion was only one part of a very rigid, controlled, horrible home life. scioto village was my way out, and i’ve never looked back.
