The Prison Guard's Daughter: A riveting author discussion about the Attica Riot and it's aftermath Online

 Join us for a riveting discussion about the Attica Riot and it's after affects. There will be a discussion followed by a question and answer period.

About the authors: Deanne Quinn Miller is a member of the Forgotten Victims of Attica and the daughter of Correctional Officer William Quinn, the first casualty of the Attica Prison Riot. With Miller’s leadership, the Forgotten Victims secured $12 million in reparations for its members, counseling for all who sought it, and an annual memorial at the prison. The organization continues to push for other goals—the unsealing of the remaining thousands of pages of nonpublic riot records and an apology from the state of NY.

Gary Craig is an investigative reporter with the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle's watchdog team. He focuses on criminal justice and public safety issues. He and his wife, Charlotte, live in Brighton and have two daughters. Craig is also the author of "Seven Million: A Cop, A Priest, a Soldier for the IRA, and the Still-Unsolved Rochester Brink's Heist."
