"Alcatraz Memoirs of a Rock Doc" vividly chronicles the experiences of Milton Daniel Beacher, M.D., an Alcatraz medical officer from 1937-1938. Based on his original journal entries, Beacher’s memoir presents a compelling behind-the-bars depiction of life on the Rock for prisoners like Al Capone, "Machine Gun" Kelly, and Alvin Karpis. It also describes the conditions for the families that lived there, including the doctor and his wife, details of a long prison strike, the Cole/Roe escape, an attempted mass break, 18 original photographs, and a little history. Befriended by some prisoners, their first-person narratives and original poetry are memorialized. Visit www.alcatrazdoc.com for excerpts and reviews.
