Allen Durham was 20 when he died during the retaking of Attica Correctional Facility on September 13, 1971. He was one of 29 inmates killed that day after state troopers and correctional officers stormed the prison to end a four-day uprising that had begun when about 1,300 inmates seized control and took dozens of staff members hostage. The assault involved tear gas and firearms and also left 10 hostages dead.
Did anyone who knew Allen Durham or was at Attica during the uprising have more information about his time there or the circumstances of his death?
