Was Thelma a villain? Based on the oral histories of staff, one might say yes. But what may have made Thelma cruel?

Feared by some, defended by few, and remembered by all, Thelma Cameron occupies that uncomfortable space between antagonist and instrument—where discipline becomes legend and legend becomes blame.
