Great book

I went to California this summer, one of the stops I made was to Alcatraz Island...while I was there, Frank Heany was there, and we got him to sign our book and he talked about being a guard there...I didnt get to hear the whole speach because my dad was impatient...but I read most of the book on the ride home....it was very informative, and it made me want to learn more about Alcatraz...definately recommended

Most informative Alcatraz book

I read this book after I saw the movie "The Rock." After reading this book I knew about everything about the schedule, inmates, and basic inmate life. I didn't need to read another Alcatraz book. It's simply great.

Great Alcatraz Book

This book guides you step-by-step through the world of the Maximum-security US Penitentiary on Alcatraz Island. Written by a former correctional officer, this book offers first-hand views of things occuring in the institution. This book has a history of Alcatraz, from the prisoners to the closing to the present. I highly reccomend this book for anyone's reading enjoyment.
