Alcatraz: Rules, Regulations and a Brief History

Welcome to the Rock… You are entitled to food, clothing, shelter and medical attention. Anything else that you get is a privilege.

- U.S.P. Alcatraz, Rules and Regulations.

This new revised edition is heavily illustrated with vintage era photos and designed specifically for Amazon Kindle readers. This digital edition of the U.S.P. Alcatraz - Rules and Regulations is presented from an original and historic 1956 booklet issued to new inmates serving time on the Rock. The Rules and Regulations were transcribed in their original and unedited form and offer readers a rare and honest glimpse of the rigid daily structure endured by inmates once held inside the walls of Alcatraz.

Included are several bonus materials including the Alcatraz Inmate Daily Activity Schedule, Escape and Riot Plans, the Alcatraz Cell Search Protocol for prison officers, an Alcatraz Inmate Roster which includes every inmate incarcerated at Alcatraz during the Federal Prison era from 1934 through 1963 and a Brief History of Alcatraz written by the Bureau of Prisons. All materials are presented unedited with content transcribed from the original documents.

Also included is a collection of inmates and prison era photographs to supplement the textual materials.
