[edit] Rewrite and Expansion

I have expanded and rewritten this article using the references listed. As this is my first major rewrite, I would appreciate if a more experienced user would correct any mistakes I may have made. Movementarian 20:12, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

The whole article needs to be rewritten.

The old building has been torn down and you can no longer refer to it as the "Castle" when one no longer exists.

Also the pictures need to be updated to reflect the new building and the old one. Trentc —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 02:00, August 27, 2007 (UTC).

[edit] more caucasians?

Witt is listed here as the only caucasian, but then on Kreutzer's link, he, I believe, is listed as caucasian. Are they both? Is one not? Maybe it would work to delete the affirmation of Witt's status as the only caucasian (at least until confirmed). --Coryma 00:26, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I concur. I noticed the same thing too right now, and it's more than three months since. --ShawnLee 27 September 2006

I removed that line text as the reference disputes it clearly states that there are two Caucasians on military death row —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.189.128.224 (talk • contribs)

[edit] historical/famous prisoners

Leavenworth has had all kinds of famous prisoners - someone care to take on writing a paragraph to describe its historical importance? --lquilter 06:14, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What is the ref under the picture about?

All it says is mock? Adam Weeden 12:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

It refers to the name of the author listed in the references section. I've rolled them together into one note. ✤ JonHarder ^talk 00:31, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] German POW numbers

The History section says 14 German POWs were killed in 1945, while the Capital punishment section says 12 POWs were killed in 1944. Looks like the first number/date comes from a 2003 survey of the headstones in the cemetery, while the second comes from a partially illegible list found in a Pentagon filing cabinet (which, on the website of the DPIC, also shows 14, not 12). Is there an authoritative source somewhere? Ratbasket 12:41, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removing "Current death row inmates" section

I am removing the "Current death row inmates" section per WP:BLP. I don't see any citation for the names in this section and I can't find a list at the Fort Leavenworth site, so there's no way to know that they all belong here and some are not just joke edits. Hopefully the editor who originally added these names can provide a WP:RS and the section can be restored. --CliffC 01:33, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I think this may be the reference you are looking for here. Anyone have any reservations about adding this list back into the main article? Tan | 39 17:39, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
