Alcatraz Monologue

Can you imagine a life where literally all you do is drink, do drugs, and party? Well honestly most of you are probably thinking this sounds like your average highschool druggie group because more often than not that’s all they seem to do, or, well, brag about doing. However, this is my lifestyle. Born and raised. Although, that’s not all we do. There is a little bit of secrecy in my actual career though. Let me introduce myself, I am daughter of Al Capone, I am Miss Anne Capone. For a living, I hunt down people that have wronged my father or any of his descendents. However, most of you don’t know me though. You may know of my brother Albert, but my father kept me a secret. He had me frozen at the age of 10 for almost a hundred years. During the year of 2020, scientists discovered a hidden room in one of Al Capone’s homes and inside there i was in a time capsule. It was pretty cool I guess.

Not a lot of people were on the island so whenever me and my father went

Ramona rolled over and glances to her right she sees a shining light coming from her phone. Although it was dark outside she heard sirens, but that is all the time in New York City. She reaches for her phone but knocks over a picture of herself, her mother, , father, and some random girl that she does not remember ever seeing. This is the only reminder of what her parents look like. But maybe that could be from just never seeing them, seeing as they are always away. This time Paris, But they always failed to take her with them.

Walking into the correctional facility felt as if I was walking through a college campus tour. They had dorms, they had a gym, they had a library, they had a dining hall, they had special rooms for special people. I can assure you this is not the college I would want to go to. The students here, also known as inmates, looked demoralized. While we were there, the prison was in a state of overflow. They had to many inmates that they needed to pack them like sardines in the meeting area of the dorms with bunk beds. The living conditions seemed inhumane. The campus was chained in by barbed wire and any escape would put up major signs of danger. Walking through the courtyard I felt a feeling of being trapped, and I was not even the one in chains. I never realized how terrifying prison was until this experience. The effects of isolation were clearly visible through the inmates.

"What do you want now? I already cooked dinner, fetched water, cleaned the house, and fed the animals. I'm going to the farm at noon. Can't I sleep for a while?"

II. I will discuss life on the island and as an inmate in the prison.

this boy got me all smiley, damn I think there's something wrong with me—wait that's just feelings something I ain't used too.

Imagine it’s a cold foggy night your shivering form head to toe outside of that dreaded prison until someone yells “get in the boat it’s time to get off this rock” so you get in and never look back at that horrible prison they call “Alcatraz.” On the night of June 11/1962 three men tried their luck escaping Alcatraz their names where Frank Morris, John Anglin and Clarence Anglin. The men wanted to do the unthinkable escape Alcatraz. Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers died trying to escape Alcatraz on June 11, 1962.

In 1934 America opened one of the most secured Federal Prisons, Alcatraz. Located on an island in San Francisco, California, inmates that were considered the most dangerous were transferred here to complete their sentence. Alcatraz from Inside is an autobiography by Jim Quillen that focuses on his experiences while imprisoned in Alcatraz including his perspective of the well known “Battle of Alcatraz”. Jim Quillen was born in San Francisco, California in 1919. Quillen was transferred to Alcatraz in 1942 released in 1952 and is now a writer expressing his personal feelings of Alcatraz. This book is written by Alcatraz inmate telling his experience at alcatraz and not a fanatic which is what makes this book more interesting.

I was born in an immense castle that belonged to the royal family in England. My parents, John and Sarah, were some of the kindest people that anyone could ever meet. I also had a brother who the country loved while they hated me. My father was the Monarch so he did many things which caused me to not see him much. I grew up a spoiled and ungrateful individual. When I was 16, I planned to murder my father so I wouldn’t have to wait until he died to take the throne. One night, I slipped some poisonous mushrooms into his lamb that he was having for dinner. He experienced agony all throughout the night until he finally perished. The whole country mourned his loss while I celebrated.

I can’t believe they volunteered. I wonder if they are as uncertain as I am. I wonder if their fingers shake as they tighten the nine straps distributed over his body, completely immobilizing the man I know only as The Condemned. I don’t know what he’s done. I don’t know who he is. The letter held his name, but I have gone through some pains to drive it from my mind and have done an excellent job of keeping myself out of the loop. I know only that he has been called upon to die for his crimes, and that is all I want to know. It helps me keep my distance; having no knowledge of his conviction makes it easier for me to treat him as a job and easier for me to treat him as a man. I hope my hands will be steady when I push the needle through the

This paper is about the escapes from alcatraz. Alcatraz is located 1.25 miles off the shore of San Francisco. The address is Golden Gate National Recreation Area, San Francisco, CA 94133. The prison was established on June 1st 1934. It is no longer running as a prison. You can visit the prison with tours. “The Prison closed 1963”(Pruitt, http://www.alcatrazhistory.com/alcesc2.htm). The prison held prisoners from 1934 to 1963. John Anglin, Clarence Anglin, and Frank Morris were the three people who tried to escape from Alcatraz.

Many believe that they didn’t have the credential to pull the escape off. Some people believe that they got hypothermia and drowned in the bay and didn’t make it. Lifejackets they made had washed up on several different islands around Alcatraz. Investigators even found photos and addresses of the Anglin family on the shore of Angel island. A paddle that matched one found in the cell block was found drifting in the bay. Detectives say that the they drown in the bay, others say they died, swimming, in the icy water when the raft gave

I had prepared for weeks for this adventure, but with all eyes on me now I had become stiff and nervous.

Yes, I am feeling pretty nervous at the moment, but not as nervous as Lee was this morning. He said that he had a few butterflies in his stomach. Well, he should be feeling better now, as I found this in the toilet just after he'd left it. [hold up a brick]
