Biographical Note
Ted Dracos was a photojournalist who published Ungodly, a book about Madalyn Murray O'Hair. He also wrote an article for Seattle Weekly in January 1977 on the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla, and was one of few people (and possibly the only person) to be allowed to photograph there. Following that article, Dracos produced more work, including writings and documentaries, on state and federal prison systems, including profiles of death penalty cases in California and documentaries on the youngest offender to be incarcerated in the Texas prison system.
Content Description
Photographs, negatives, and slides of agri-business in Washington and other states, the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla, and various Seattle events, people, and scenes. An audio tape of Washington State Penitentiary superintendent B.J. Rhay and research materials on the prison are also included.
