I actually met Whitey at Alcatraz and he is truly a man who seemed to be repentant of his crimes.

An interesting story to hear how an individual had pretty much behind the eight ball starting in his childhood. His father really didn't do him any favors with the way he treated him. Needless to say it wasn't long before he ended up in prison. I noticed that the way the author describes. himself it really appears as though for so much of his life he was just a very mean person. But he came a long way and persevered through the monotonous doldrums of prison life. This is one of those things that being as this is an autobiography and the author is trying to sell his book, you just have to wonder how much some of the things that the author describes are accurate and factual. Even so, I found it to be an interesting read.

A favourite as a child, it's an horrific tale of life on Alcatraz Island and other prisons. Nothing is held back.
