Dymally, Mervyn M., 1926-2012
Description
Incarcerated persons, write to Senator Mervyn Dymally, asking him to take action and investigate the "funny death," of Fred Billingsley caused by correctional officers, and unprofessional practices of correctional officers across the state. The letter indicates that this death is the fourth in one month at this correctional facility. Black and white inmates believe these deaths are no accident and want it to be put to an end before another occurs.
