The Forgotten Survivors

Hearings from the Attica Task Force

With the cooperation of Scott Christianson, we present here the entire record of the deliberations of the Forgotton Survivors, the Public Hearings of the Attica Task Force. Governor George Pataki charged this Task Force to investigate the concerns and issues of the Attica Prison employees who were taken hostage, and to give them a venue to publicly tell their stories and experiences. We have digitized the official transcriptions of hearing testimony into Adobe PDF file format. You may need to download a free Adobe Acrobat reader to read the text files.
