ATalking History Project
Oral Histories
In the decades
following the Attica rebellion of 1971, hundreds of interviews
have been conducted with prisoners, hostages, guards,
prison officials, witnesses, and government officials
touching on one or more aspects of the insurrection.
The origins, course, and aftermath of the rebellion have
been extensively and intensively explored. Oral histories
constitute an important source for understanding both
the events of 1971 as well as the more general physical,
social, political, and psychological conditions that
typified Attica and other New York State prisons in the
late 1960s and early 1970s.
The following oral histories were gathered from a variety of sources. We wish to thank all who contributed interviews to Attica Revisited. Specific acknowledgments are listed under each inteview description. We have included transcripts whenever possible (in Adobe Acrobat PDF file format or Word document file format). We intend to add interviews to this site as they become available. All interviews are being made available in both streaming RealMedia and MP3 audio file formats. Click on the appropriate speaker icon to hear a specific segment in the desired format; click on transcript icon to view the transcript file. Interviews have been divided into two or more half-hour segments to facilitate on-line listening.
