For non-medical perspectives on Jack Ruby's final days at Parkland Memorial Hospital in 1966-67, see the Museum's oral histories with the late Dallas County deputy sheriffs Benny Bob Barrett (https://emuseum.jfk.org/objects/29886) and Al Maddox (https://emuseum.jfk.org/objects/21466). Both men were assigned to guard Ruby inside his hospital room at Parkland. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
