Ask Robyn Williams about the biggest challenges she faced working in Utah’s corrections system and she pauses briefly, mulling over a thoughtful — and characteristically blunt — answer. "I can’t say what made it most difficult, but I can say it was difficult," she said. "Part of it was being a woman and part of it was looking more like the inmates than the officers." Photos Williams is quick to add she was no trailblazer. There were other officers of color before her, including Betty Gaines-Jones, who was both the first female warden at the prison’s women’s facility, the first black warden in Utah, and one of Williams’ role models. "There were lessons she taught me along the way, things like you will never be one of them," said Williams, meaning white men. "There is always an inside joke you are not privy to when you are in a male-dominated institution. There is a certain amount of truth in having to run faster, jump higher, be better just to pull even. That doesn’t only apply to me. ... Everybody has to figure out their own way to navigate those waters." Read More. |
