Prisoner who Ran Walpole Prison to Speak on MDI. Robert Dellelo will speak about solitary confinement as torture on Friday, February 12, at 7 pm at the Hall in the Turrets at the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor and on Saturday, February 13, at 4 pm at St. John’s Church in Southwest Harbor. Dellelo, 67, was elected by the prisoners to chair the committee of Prisoners’ Union that ran Walpole Prison in Massachusetts for 12 weeks when the guards went on strike in 1973. The March 30, 2009 New Yorker magazine featured Bobby’s story in the article, Hellhole, by Atul Gawande. When asked if he thought he is an expert on prisons Dellelo says, “In 1964 I entered Walpole Prison with a natural life sentence. I overturned my sentence and left prison with a bachelor’s degree in sociology. Now, having over 50 years of field experience in the ‘causes and effects’ of confinement, having watched brats turned into killers and having seen sane citizens turned into violent, hard core, insane criminals, all in the name of corrections, I hold myself out to be an expert in rehabilitation and corrections.” For information contact Gray Cox, 207-288-5015 ext. 326, gray@coa.edu and George Swanson, 207-244-0579, george@katrinasdream.org
