My uncle who was a tough ex-coal miner who worked as a "counselor" at Morganza during the mid-'50s when it was more of a state reform school. Part of his job was to administer punishment to the delinquent boys who misbehaved. Anyway, my uncle had told me that on Xmas day, he and the other "counselors" would unlock the doors to the boys and girls wards, then sit back and watch "the fun". Perhaps this was one reason for those baby cribs at Morganza.
