Rule Number FiveIt is your right to have:Food, clothing, shelter and medical attention.Anything else you get is a privilege.Alcatraz.The Island.The Rock.

This is no local state prison. This is a federal prison for crimesagainst the Nation–the United States of America. It’s stuck right out there near the Golden Gate Bridge. On a bighunk of stone jutting up out of the waters of San Francisco Bay. […]

I was on my way to Alcatraz. They take the prisoners out therefrom a pier that’s well away from the city. They don’t want to disturb the honest townspeople. Don’t want to let the folks on holiday see us either. Might spoil the tourist trade. Prisoners ain’t a pretty sight.Though, when word gets out there’s a new prisoner going over, there’s always two or three guys turn up to watch that early morning boat ride.

All at once the bridge looms up. Not so much Golden Gate as red rust. The big, iron girders arch above us as we go from the city to the national park on the other side. They say the trees there are as tall as the Empire State Building. Then the fog rolls in and I don’t see anything anymore.

I can hear the seals though. The noise gets louder as we approach the prison jetty on Alcatraz Island. Those big walruses are just sitting on the rocks staring at us and honking*. Saddest sound I’ve ever heard.I was going to see and hear a lot sadder things in the next months.But to tell you the honest truth, on that day, I felt sort of proud to be going there.Crazy, huh?I mean I was scared too. […]But here I was now.On that boat.I was one of the big boys. The real tough guys.On my way to the most famous prison in the U.S.A.The most famous prison in the whole wide world.
