...Alcatraz Part II INTRODUCTION In this paper, I will discuss the key events following the creation of Alcatraz, examining the significant purpose of each incident, and explaining why the establishment of Alcatraz has lead to become such an important American figure in the Criminal Justice world. This paper will also go into more depth of some of America’s well-known gangsters who were held at Alcatraz and their plotted extreme escapes. I will examine each aspect of Alcatraz and try to draw significant conclusions and information from this supermax prison and the famous criminals that served time there. Once Alcatraz had been built, there were many questions about whether or not this prison was able to handle such a significant crowd of elegant prisoners. Many issues had came up for prison officials and the media had given an image to the public that incorporated those issues, causing questioning from the public about whatever was going on in Alcatraz was being deemed constitutional. David Ward, along with Gene Kassebaum in Alcatraz: The gangster years, do a great job in bringing out detailed facts about topics and concerns that was being brought up after the migration of America’s most dangerous criminals into this institution. This paper will look deep into whether or not creating such a commendable prison was worth all the attention from concerned officials and citizens. SUMMARY A theory that I had encountered throughout the second part of this book was how much attention...

...Alcatraz Island has quite a distinct history. Many people know that Alcatraz served as a federal prison, but most are reluctant to know that this island served as fort. Built before the Civil War, it served two main purposes. First, that it was to guard the San Francisco bay area from enemy ships against a foreign invasion, and second, to hold hostage prisoners of war or POW's as they were called. In this report, I'll show you how this fortress came to be a federal prison, why it is no longer in operation today, and most importantly, to show why it was built in the first place. When the great Gold Rush of 1849 first started, California grew from what would be considered a small, unpopulated state, into what it is now. California is now one of the most populated states and it was mostly the gold rush that brought attention to California. As the government saw all of this happening, they realized that California was much more important than they ever realized. In their realization, they decided that California must be protected. San Francisco has one of the largest bays in all of California, and so this was where enemy countries would most likely to try to invade the country. So this is where Alcatraz was to lie, to serve as a military fort. It was supposed to serve as a secondary base in companionship to another base located on the other side of Golden Gate Bridge. But with severe problems trying to build this other base, Alcatraz was to remain alone. Out in the middle of the San...

...Introduction There were two prison systems that were developed in the 1800s in the United States. These two prison systems were: the Auburn system and the Pennsylvania system. In the Auburn prison system the prisons had to do the labor together but they had to stay quiet, whereas, in the Pennsylvanian system the prisons had to face isolation from not only the society but also their fellow criminals. The idea behind the formation of the Pennsylvanian prison system was that it would give all those prisoners the privacy and time to think about their acts and the crimes that they had committed and in this way they would realize and be remorseful or penitent about their actions, this is how the term penitentiary was derived (Rogers, 1993)....

...aware of the law, but when continuing to break it, then they must face the fact that they will be brought to justice. In this paper, there are eight people of focus, such as: Martha Stewart, Ivan Boesky, Michael Milken, Manuel Noriega, Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, Al Capone, and John Gotti. Although there crimes vary we will look at the similarities and difference. Martha Stewart In 2004, Mrs. Stewart was sentenced to five months of federal prison for lying to investigators about a stock sale. She was sent to Alderson Federal prison camp to serve a portion of her sentence. The Prison she was sent to was founded in 1927. It was the first women prison in the United States. It was established for the basic purpose of rehabilitating women criminals. It is a minimum-security prison in 159-acre facility. It has the capacity to hold 1050 prisoners, which has no barbed wire on the fences surrounding the camp and the prisoners have schedules and each one must work. Most who are sentenced here have committed white-collared crimes and non-violent crimes. The inmates there sleep in bunk beds in two large dormitories. These quarters hold 500 plus inmates. It also “Follows a punitive rather than a rehabilitative model.” Ivan Boesky Ivan Boesky was an American stock trader that was found to be involved in a scandal related to insider trading, which occurred in Wall Street in 1980s. For his scandal he was sentenced to serve a 3 and half years sentence and was also fined with an amount of $100...

...The State and Federal Prison System Axia College Both state and federal prison systems have a long history in the United States as well as a significant presence in modern times as the prison populations for both state and federal prisons continue to grow. State and federal prisons each have their own types of institutions and security levels and house different types of criminals due to their differing jurisdictions over state versus federal prisoners. This paper will discuss the state and federal prison systems and their respective histories, recent growth in prisoner populations, different types of facilities, security levels, and types of criminals. American state prisons were originally used as workhouses where prisoners could work off what they owed to the state for their crimes through hard labor, but the purposes for state and federal prisons eventually shifted towards using prisons with the intention of punishment and incapacitating the criminal by removing them from society. Not surprisingly, many of the ideas for the development of the first prisons in the United States came from England. The history of the American prison system began with the Walnut Street Jail in Philadelphia, which served as the first prototype for the Pennsylvania model for prisons where prisoners worked at tasks in solitary confinement in order to pay off their debt to society and theoretically reflect upon what they had done (Johnston, 2010). The Pennsylvania...
