David Hale

David W. Hale is a former prison guard at the highest level of security prison in America, the United States Penitentiary Marion, Illinois. USP Marion, commonly referred to as "The New Alcatraz", has been 'locked down' (meaning that all inmates are confined to their cells) since October 1983. This measure was taken after a prolonged wave of violence culminated in the killing of two guards in one day. This story provides the primary plot of the feature film 'Ghosts ...Of The Civil Dead'.
