5.0 out of 5 stars Great Alcatraz Book, May 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside the Walls of Alcatraz (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most informative Alcatraz book, July 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside the Walls of Alcatraz (Paperback)

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.
