The only prison archivist that I know of is John W. Roberts. He is author of several essays, including: "Archival Theory: myth or banality," American Archivist, 53 (Winter 1990): 110-120; and "Archival Theory: much ado about shelving" AA, 1987 . At that time he was archivist of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Washington, D.C. His name does not show up in the 2000-2001 Member Directory of the Society of American Archivists but you might give SAA a call and ask (312-922-0140). Or you might call the Federal Bureau of Prisons... It also occurs to me that there is a defunct prison in north Philadelphia that had an exhibit about 10 years ago. A calendar was published of its old cells in photos. The cells were the basis of some installation art. Anyway, I believe there were toilets in some of the photos. (Why do I remember this???) Perhaps calling the AIA bookstore in Philadelphia could turn up a publication. Hope this random information is helpful. Best of luck with an interesting question.
