Howard McLeod started in corrections at the Oklahoma State Reformatory in Granite. He later served as chief sergeant and assistant deputy at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary from 1940 to 1955. He was appointed warden at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary and served in that capacity from 1955 to 1959. McLeod's concern for meaningful labor for inmates lead to the purchase of an "Honor Farm" outside Farris in Atoka County. That farm known as the McLeod Honor Farm, later became the Howard McLeod Correctional Center. McLeod died in 1959 at age 63.
