Alcatraz from Inside: The Hard Years, 1942-1952 | 
"The inmates were not without blame in many instances and I had no intent to justify their actions. However, the purpose of prison is to incarcerate the criminal, not to brutalize him physically, mentally, and spiritually until death is preferable to any existence in such a place. I will let the reader decide if this is what drove some inmates to atrocious actions."
