This book was written by George Gregory who spent 15 years as a guard at Alcatraz. It tells of his years there, his adventures and some of the prisoners he came in contact with, such as Robert Stroud the Birdman of Alcatraz and Machinegun Kelly. The book was quite informative and had many pictures of Alcatraz back in the old days. I enjoyed the book and learned some things about how prisons were run back in those days. If you are interested in this genre you will enjoy this book.
