DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS History
In the early 1930s, the Mack Alford
Correctional Center was used as a sub-prison
of the Oklahoma State Penitentiary
in McAlester, Oklahoma. Offenders
assigned were “trustees” and worked the
farm and cattle. The sub-penitentiary
was established for four basic reasons by
Governor Murray: To separate first term
convicts from the seasoned convicts; to
construct a tubercular ward for segregation;
to provide work for the new convicts; and
to raise food and lower the cost of penal
institutions. At some point in the 1930s,
the offenders were returned to the main
institution and this facility became a federal,
state, and local Venereal Disease Hospital.
Early in the 1940s, the facility was used as a
German Prisoner of War Camp. During the
late 1940s, the State Penitentiary again used
the facility as a sub-prison. In 1948, the
offenders were returned to the main prison
and this facility then became the Stringtown
Training School for White Boys. In August
of 1956, the facility again became an Honor
Farm of the main institution. In 1959, the
Vocational Rehabilitation Schools were
added and the institution became
