Warden urges prison changes
j.
By Randy Gordon . .s
,..Xri3--f)ew 'warden -of the Nebraska
Penal Complex, who joined the prison
staff 19 years ago as a guard, said
construction changes are needed on the
century-old "Bastille-like" prison.
Robert F. Parrett said, "I don't think
it's necessary to have the high walls and
have the living quarters (for prisoners)
be cages. The prisoners should be
placed in individual rooms, allowing
them to fee! safe and comfortable."
Parrett said this type of change would
"be conducive to building the character
and motivation'! of inmates. "Humaniz
ing the prison can be done by new
construction and less regimentation and
militarism," headded.
Former acting warden
Parrett, 42, formerly acting warden of
the complex, was appointed warden
Oct. 25 by Corrections Director Joseph
Vitek. He succeeded Charles Wolff Jr.,
who resigned Oct. 7 to take a job as the
second-ranking corrections chief for the
state of Virginia.
Parrett is a native of Concordia, Kan.,
and moved to Hastings, Neb., in 1948.
He attended Hastings High School, but
uithdrov Hnrinn hie inninr year.
He joined the penal complex in 1956
as a guard and was promoted to food
steward in. 1960. He was named
correctional lieutenant in 1961 and in
1968 he was appointed correctional
captain. ,
He served as director of prison
industries until 1971, when Wolff
named him deputy warden,
As warden, Parrett's salary will be
$17,350 a year.
Parrett said he became interested in
law enforcement end correct ions work
because rui thought "I had the ability to
work with and supervise people."
Among 15 candidates ...
, He was. among . 15 candidates - from,
across "the nation who applied 'for the
job.
Parrett said he hopes community
based programs, which allow inmates to
leave the prison and participate m
activities in cities across the state, can
be expanded.
"We'd like to see everyone who
comes to the prison be involved in a
community-based program," he said.
"It gives them the earning power
enabling them to regain their place back
in society."
He said these programs, which
include work releases, parole and
involvement with groups throughout the
state, have given Nebraska a "progres
sive penal system."
