Summary
The men who served time in the Eastern State Penitentiary and Leavenworth speak out in this fascinating look at America's most notorious prisons. Interviews from former inmates, guards, wardens and other insiders offer an unvarnished look at what life is like behind bars, while journalists and historians detail the stories that have become part of prison lore, including that of Robert Stroud, the infamous "Bird Man of Alcatraz" who was first incarcerated at Leavenworth.
