SixChdrges
Are Revealed
By yDethnners
Favoritism Rampant.
Money Buys Privileges,
State Attorney Says
BY RHYS JONES
Times staff Correspondent

LANSING, July l4-Michigan's
most sensational prison scandal,
based on revelations of wide
spread bribery and favoritism.
Will be brought into the open
within the next 10 days, it was
learned here today.
A complete shakeup OF the staff
at Jackson Prison is expected to
follow.
Warden Harry Jackson, vet
eran chief OF this largest penal
institution in the country, will
be cited for a hearing before the
state corrections commission when
the explosive report is released,
official sources said.
SIX SPECIFIC CHARGES
The report. to be made public
by Atty. Gen. John Dethmers,
will charge:
Favored prisoners, and
those who had money To "tip"
the guards, were virtually free
men and were allowed to visit
their wives and sweethearts in
Detroit and i'm the city of jack
son.
Most big shot inmates
carried large rolls OF bills, even
though prisoners are not sup
posed To possess cash.
3-Money could buy almost
any favor. and whisky has been
available TO any one who could
pay bootleg prices.
4-Gambling has been a COM
mon pastime i'm the institution.
5-W hen inmates with q
"pull" were sent to town on
fake errands, unaccompanied by
guards, the only stipulation was
they return before the nightly
check up.
6-One inmate admitted pa
ternity of son born recently,
although he has been In prison
several years.
VoLUMINOUS TESTIMONY
More than 5000 pages of testi-
mony have been taken by Asst.
Atty. Gen. Harry Jackson. who
is not related TO the warden.
Working with jackson has been
a detail of state police under
Capt. Harold Mulbar.
The record has been sum-
married in a l00-page report now
before Atty Gen. Dethmers.
One Of the first discoveries was
that Ray Bernstein and Harry
Keywell, purple gangsters who
are serving life for the Colling-
" q massacre. we're moved
secretly from Marquette 10 jack

special privileges.
Also transferred with them was
