Two scholars doing
research on Anne Moody recently paid a visit to Wilkinson County Correctional
Facility, Woodville, Miss. Dr. Leigh Ann Wheeler, left, professor of History at Binghamton University
of New York, and graduate student Shelby Driskill of the University of Richmond
in Virginia met with Warden Jody Bradley and Chaplain Roscoe Barnes III (not pictured). They
talked about the work of the Anne Moody History Project, which was created by
WCCF staff as a community service project to promote the legacy of Anne Moody. Moody
was a civil rights pioneer who wrote Coming of Age in Mississippi. Bradley and
the guests also discussed the programs and services made available to the
offenders housed at the facility. Bradley answered questions about
corrections and explained how certain challenges are effectively handled.
Bradley also highlighted some of WCCF’s achievements, including its growing
number of GED graduates.
