Mobster Al "Scarface" Capone, "Machine Gun" Kelly, Robert Stroud aka the Birdman: only the most
violent, desperate criminals went to Alcatraz Island, called "The Rock" and known for its harsh
conditions. This gripping true crime classic, originally written in 1963 and newly reissued, tells the
story of life on The Rock and of fourteen ingenious escape attempts by the prisoners. Most notable
perhaps was Frank Morris, whose daring plan of escape was the basis for the memorable 1979 Clint
Eastwood movie Escape from Alcatraz.
Patrick Cullen, a native of Massachusetts, is a graduate of The Catholic University of America, in Washington, D.C., where he continues to live and work in the theater.
