It was April 26, 1937. One year later, he left with a journal. It chronicled the suicides, discipline problems, force feedings, and details of a long strike and successful escape. He also penned conversations with famous prisoners like Al Capone, Alvin Karpis, and “Machine Gun” Kelly. Dr. Beacher later wove the journal into a vivid account of life on the Rock.
