Photo series of Eric O. Brown, district manager for the Pacific Telegraph and Telephone Co. Mr. Brown (right) and Warden David M. Heritage stroll in front of the prison facilities at McNeil Island in March of 1956. Warden Heritage was appointed in February of 1955 to replace Fred Wilkinson. He took over McNeil when it had a peak population of 1,350 inmates and tightened up application of rules and regimen. He also supported a number of improvements in prisoner living conditions and educational and therapeutic programs. In 1960, Warden Heritage left for a similar position in Atlanta.
