Case 67: The Battle of Alcatraz

Summary: Alcatraz Prison was the solution to America’s overwhelming crime problem. It didn’t aim to rehabilitate like other prisons. It aimed to punish. The worst-of-the-worst inmates of all the other prisons across America were shipped to Alcatraz, inmates who were deemed unmanageable for traditional penitentiaries. ____ Researched and written by Milly Raso [For all credits and sources please visit casefilepodcast.com]
