About this product

Product Information

One man's account of life inside Alcatraz, from desperation to redemption. Each day we saw the outside world in all its splendour, and each day that view served as a reminder that we had wasted and ruined our lives. Jim Quillen, AZ586 - a runaway, problem child and petty thief - was jailed several times before his twentieth birthday. In August 1942, after escaping from San Quentin, he was arrested on the run and sentenced to forty-five years in prison, and later transferred to Alcatraz. This is the true story of life inside America's most notorious prison - from terrifying times in solitary confinement to daily encounters with 'the Birdman', and what really happened during the desperate and deadly 1946 escape attempt.

    Exceptional service from a very reliable seller. They were offering a long-out-of-print book at a very reasonable price. On checkout I was given a 10% discount code; the book was dispatched with free postage, followed by an email advising they were giving a refund because they considered the book was not in as good a condition as advertised. The book arrived two days later, well-packaged and in great condition too. Thank you WeBuyBooks, I’m happy to recommend such exemplary service.

    Very interesting read.

    I really enjoyed this book. My main criticism is that the dates and author's age at the various stages documented throughout are not made clear. It is therefore hard to relate Quillen's experiences at that age and time. Other than that, it's a great read. I would recommend it.

  • Brilliant book to learn about the Alcatraz!

    We went Alcatraz this Easter holiday. My son, 10 years old was very curious about this jail and wanted to learn more. We bought this book for his 11th birthday and he really enjoyed reading. Won't recommend to read before going to bed though. lots of interesting things you can learn from this book.

  • Real life

    I learned about Jim Quillan when I visited Alcatraz, his story of life in high security prisons was harrowing. He was a bad lad, a tough guy, but he turned his life around, respect is due.
