Robert L. Strickland

"I'm Warden Robert L. Strickland and once you step inside Hellgate Prison! You belong to me."

Robert L. Strickland was the former warden of Hellgate Prison. He attempted to earn some extra cash by charging people to take a "tour" of the facility. He had also become obsessed with running the prison at maximum efficiency and wanted to display this to the paying public. After ignoring orders to cease and desist his practices by the Federal Bureau of Prisoners, Strickland began creating sales materials in an attempt to coerce the public to come and tour his prison.

A breakdown in prison security and operating procedures in October of 1956 lead to an uprising, in which 99 inmates took control of Hellgate and rioted for over 30 days. After this incident, Warden Strickland was stripped of his authority and committed to a state facility for the mentally incapacitated.
