Thank you, Eileen, Mike and Arcadia for including in your "Acknowledgments" a mention of our website and of its John N. Miskell pages:
No history of Auburn Prison can be discussed without acknowledging the work of John Miskell . . . John Miskell's extensive writings on the history of Auburn Prison can be read of the extraordinary New York Correction History Web site, maintained by Thomas McCarthy, www.correctionhistory.org . . . . Michael Pettigrass is a correction counselor in the guidance unit at Auburn Correctional Facility. His interest in the prison's rich history has led him to serve, for many years, as the unofficial historian of the facility. While many heavy volumes with massive texts have been published about Auburn Prison, this 127-page book's pictures are worth more than 200,000 words. For the current image-oriented generations, it can serve as an excellent visual introduction to the poignantly painful saga of penology's perennial hopes and seemingly inevitable disappointments.
In the weeks and months to come, this website will seek to add text and photo excerpts from Eileen, Mike and Arcadia's Images of America: Auburn Correctional Facility book.
Below are links to some of the John N. Miskell's Auburn Prison history writings and materials on our www.correctionhistory.org website.
