In this episode of the Old State House Museum Collections Video Podcast, we take a look at the collection of materials related to the Arkansas prison system and the Department of Correction. The podcast features an interview with the Public Relations Director for the DOC, Dina Tyler. Through the collection housed at the Old State House, we look at the long history of prisons in Arkansas, particularly capital punishment, electric chairs, death masks, and the trustee guard system.
@kd5hms63 Thanks so much for the comment! Dina Tyler was indeed very good - so glad she donated some of her time to this production.

Very good historical account of the A.D.C.; Dina Tyler did a great job in both parts of this documentary. The prison system is a system of change, sometimes it is for the good and for the bad. See the artifacts on display, very good insight into the past and into the hope for ....the future!
