Ex-Con To Hit Florida Penal System In Talks To Sociology Classes Here
THE STORY of an ex-convict's crusade to better prison conditions in the state of Florida is told Hurricane editor George Monahan, left, by Charlie Welsh, former inmate of Raiford prison. Mr. Welsh has been touring the state in an effort to inform the public of the conditions prevailing in this state’s penal institutions. He has spoken to students at Rollins, F8U, Stetson, and the University of Florida and intends to speak at this university in the near future.
Charles Russell Walsh, 31, who spent six of the past eight years in prison, will speak to sociology classes here this week, in a self-styled crusade to “clean up" Florida prisons.
“There are no rehabilitation programs or any attempt at reformation, in Florida's prisons," Walsh said. He pointed out that "sweat box” methods and leg irons are stlh in use at some of the prisons' road camp annexes.
Since initiating his crusade he has spoken at Stetson university, Rollins college, Florida State university and the University of Florida.	j—
At each of the institutions at which he has spoken a chapter of CHAINS, Citizen’s Help Against Institutional Negligence, has been installed. These organizations will help, he hopes, to clean up Florida's prisons.
Walsh was once tied up with the Atlanta vice rackets, has done time in New York for extortion and was involved in a water pistol holdup of a restaurant in Miami. He has served time at Chillicothe reformatory, Atlanta; Lewisburg; Ricker’s Island, New York; and Raiford.
