During the may 1946 escape attempt, officer William A Miller was one of several correction officers held hostage in this cell. He was mortally wounded when he hid the key that the inmates needed to complete their escape. His quick thinking, bravery, and attention to duty prevented the escape from succeeding and he will never be forgotten.
