John Whitley (born January 1944 in Hammond, Louisiana) was a Louisianacorrections officer who served as the warden of Louisiana State Penitentiary (or Angola Prison), the largest maximum-security in the United States, from 1990 to 1995. Time magazine credited Warden Whitley with turning around hopelessness and violence at Angola with "little more than his sense of decency and fairness."
Whitley started his career as a classification officer at Angola in 1970, and rose through the ranks during its bloodiest years to become Deputy Warden of the prison. He moved on to become the warden of another Louisiana prison, Hunt Correctional Center, and left the state to run a private prison in Texas. He was asked to return to Angola in 1990 to restore order in the wake of enough stabbings, suicides and escapes to cause a United States Federal Judge to declare a state of emergency at the prison. Within two years, he had stemmed the violence with incentives for good behavior, like extra visits, and by increasing educational opportunities with literacy tutoring, and computer and paralegal courses. And he enabled some trustworthy and deserving inmates to travel outside the prison as part of athletic teams and inmate bands that provided entertainment for churches, nursing homes, and other charitable organizations.
Whitley joined the Royal Air Force in 1926. He served in World War II as Officer Commanding No. 149 Squadron and then as Station Commander at RAF Linton-on-Ouse. He was shot down in 1943. After evading capture, he continued his war service as Station Commander at RAF Lissett and then as Air Officer Commanding No. 43 Base. He went on to be Air Officer Commanding No. 4 Group and then Air Officer Commanding No. 8 Group.
After the War he served as Assistant Air Officer Administration at Headquarters Air Command South East Asia and then as Station Commander at RAF Karachi. He was appointed Director of Organisation (Establishments) at the Air Ministry in 1947 and Air Officer Administration at Headquarters Second Tactical Air Force in 1951. He went on to be Air Officer Commanding No. 1 Group in 1953, Air Member for Personnel in 1957 and Inspector-General of the RAF in 1959 before retiring in 1962.
Die mit dem sonnenbank-funk und dem talkshow-soul. die mit dem kaufhaus-punk und hannoveranischen rock&roll. ihr wählt doch sonst auch immer das falsche, wenn ihr die wahl habt. ihr steht doch sonst auch immer auf sauber, ordentlich und aalglatt! (und darum) möchte ich nicht, daß ihr meine lieder singt! denn gegen und wegen euch tu ich die machen! sie sind für die, die sich darin wiederfinden. und die, zusammen mit mir über euch lachen! ich möchte mich nicht in köpfen befinden, zusammen mit gedanken, die unter einfluß vom axel springer-verlag entstanden! in den ganzen verstrahlten hirnen, wär ich gern abhanden! denn vor allem, können die babylonier nicht klatschen und tanzen! viele sagen:" daß sind deine fans, deine finanziers!", aber mir ist diese meinung latte! wenn da draußen niemand ist der mich versteht, verkauf ich halt nur eine platte!! (und darum) möchte ich nicht, daß ihr meine lieder singt! denn gegen und wegen euch tu ich die machen! sie sind für die, die sich darin wiederfinden. und die, zusammen mit mir über euch lachen! möchte ich nicht, daß ihr meine lieder singt! denn gegen und wegen euch tu ich die machen! sie sind für die, die sich darin wiederfinden. und die, zusammen mit mir über euch lachen! immer wenn von euern lippen mein lied erklingt, ist es wie für einen writer, wenn sie seinen wholecar buffen!
