Roger, Bud Russell was the transfer agent for 40 years in the Texas Prison system, driving the men would be to push the maximum amount of work out of the men, The driving Bud did was a wagon called Black Annie shufflling 115,000 prisoners about. He's mentioned in a few song but in the "Midnight Special" it speaks of him at work in his trade:
"Here come Bud Russell, how in the world do you know
Well he know him be his wagon & the chains he wore
Big pistol on his shoulder, big knife in his hand
He's coming to take you back to Sugarland".

So much for the names, they can be changed to protect the innocent, like the names of towns or ships. Barry
