“Convicts Celebrated May Day With Songs,” Kingston Whig-Standard. May 2, 1933. Page 3. ---- Could Be Heard Very Distinctly by Those Outside the Walls ---- Hooting, shouting and singing popular songs with a gusto that made their voices clearly heard by passersby on the road, convicts of the Kingston Penitentiary, quartered in the new female prison, had their little private May Day celebration last night. Till after nine o'clock the convicts demonstrated their vocal propensities.

"We Want Nickle!” was heard more  than once by persons passing the prison. This referred to the counsel for several of the convicts charged with rioting, who was successful in having the only convict, whose trial is concluded, acquitted on the charge.

Around nine o'clock when it could be noticed that the convicts were getting tired of their own noise, strains which sounded very much like "Try A Little Tenderness" drifted out to those who were listening from the Prison Road and other popular songs were sung. A little later the convicts decided to sleep and called it a day.

Warden W. B. Megloughlin, when spoken to regarding the incident, said that apparently the convicts were celebrating May Day, but except for the noise the prison routine, was undisturbed. The convicts were all in their cells and when they got tired celebrating they went to sleep.

I get in the car with the dogs. Boss is listening to his podcasts as we drive to the site.

It's gonna be a minute.

I put in my headphones.

You're listening to gender omlette radio!

"Hold me close, don't fear my body. The flesh is weak, in need of touching.

Your hands are hungry for want of knowing.

Your eyes are closed, but still they're showing.

Light the white flags of surrender."

*chsssstttt*

"We know how much you'd like to die

We joke about it on our coffee breaks

But we're paid to force you to have a nice day

In the wonderful world we made just for you!"

*brssshhhrt*

"It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

I feel fine (I feel fine)"

*bruuuukkkkkchrts*

"Oh, sweet nothin' She ain't got nothin' at all (not a thing)"

*crirtshhh*

"I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe"

*shkrink*

"The percentage of Americans in the prison system, prison system, has doubled [quadrupled] since 1985"

...

Damn...

2024-04-05: Parchman Farm (Prison Settlement)

Parchman Penitentiary, more commonly known as Parchman Farm or simply Parchman, was founded at the turn of the century and has become a sprawling prison farm. The woods on the property had been cleared a decade ago, and now those incarcerated here labor at cultivating food to feed themselves and cotton to feed the hungry coffers of the state. Called as the prison without bars, only a wire fence and the occasional patrolling guard on horseback separates the inmates from the outside world.

A little under 2,000 people are incarcerated here: men and women, black and white. All are strictly segregated.

In addition to selling cotton, Parchman makes money by leasing out the prisoners for work. You have a big and unpleasant job that needs to be done? Hire convicts if you have enough money and clout. Try to bring them back in mostly one piece, but the state knows that sometimes "things happen."

Parchman doesn't allow executions. Not yet, anyway. Those condemned to die are sent back to their counties of conviction when it's time for the reaper to come collect his due.

Points of Interest

Superintendent's House

A sprawling three-story building in the Queen Anne style surrounded by a white picket fence is home to Parchman's superintendent and his family. The more trustworthy, lower security prisoners are often tapped to do housekeeping and maintenance as servants, but they still have to go back to the prison camp each night. Working in the house is the most plum job an inmate can get at Parchman, and there's a lot of political maneuvering both inside and outside the house to decide who gets to work here.

Prison Camps

The penitentiary is divided into a series of camps scattered across its 28 square mile property. Despite being called a camp, these are large, sturdy facilities that look more like a schoolhouse or church than a cluster of tents or cramped shanks. Parchman has a total of 13 camps: 12 for men, and a single one for women. Every camp is separated by race.

Camp 13 is the area designated for Black women, and it differs from the others in function. Long benches and banks of sewing machines make up a work area for the incarcerated women to spend long days making clothing. They assemble uniforms for the prisoners and guards, but other big sewing jobs occasionally pop up, too.

Fields

From sunup to sundown, inmates toil in the fields. Long work songs carry on the hot humid breezes, helping the laborers keep a steady rhythm to their work. Most of the land is for growing cotton, which is picked by hand so the prickly bolls can make the task just a little more unpleasant. If the work songs don't have you moving, the rifle-toting guards are happy to provide extra motivation.

If you're not assigned to the fields, you might be clearing land or chopping firewood. Even though the prisoners are trusted with axes and other tools, a single prisoner with an axe is still no match for a bullet.

Speaking of bullets, many of the guards in the fields were actually some of the most violent convicts who were given guns and tasked with overseeing the operations in the field. These particular inmates were all convicted of murder and called the trusty-shooters. They brutalized the inmates as much, if not more so, than the non-incarcerated guards. All the inmates had knives, though, and it was only the threat of the sheer number of knives being used in retaliation that could keep an uneasy peace.
