Al Capone, George Machine Gun Kelly, Alvin Karpis, Dock Barker--these were just a few of the legendary public enemies for whom America's first supermax prison was created. In Alcatraz: The Gangster Years, David Ward brings their stories to life, along with vivid accounts of the lives of other infamous criminals who passed through the penitentiary from 1934 to 1948. Ward, who enjoyed unprecedented access to FBI, Federal Bureau of Prisons, and Federal Parole records, conducted interviews with one hundred former Alcatraz convicts, guards, and administrators to produce this definitive history of The Rock. Alcatraz is the only book with authoritative answers to questions that have swirled about the prison: How did prisoners cope psychologically with the harsh regime? What provoked the protests and strikes? How did security flaws lead to the sensational escape attempts? And what happened when these habitual, incorrigible convicts were finally released? By shining a light on the most famous prison in the world, Ward also raises timely questions about today's supermax prisons.Binding Type: Paperback

Soft and Perfect for Small Pets
Size: 22''L x 13''W x 1.5''Th, Color: Blue
This little bed mat is super soft and cozy, and my cat took to it right away. The size is perfect for a crate or just laying around the house, and the star design is really cute. I like that it has an anti-slip bottom so it stays in place, and it’s easy to throw in the wash when it needs cleaning. It’s lightweight but still has enough cushion for small dogs or cats to nap comfortably. A great value for a simple, comfy pet bed.

Perfect Pad for My Pet Stroller
Size: 22''L x 13''W x 1.5''Th, Color: Grey
I bought a pet stroller that didn’t come with a pad, and I was worried I wouldn’t find one that fit. This bed turned out to be the perfect pad for the stroller! It fits just right and works well for that purpose. However, if you’re planning to use it as an actual bed, it is too thin on its own. Great as a pad, but not thick enough to be a standalone bed.

Kitty Loves It!
Size: 22''L x 13''W x 1.5''Th, Color: Pink
This kitty pad is so cute! I wanted a pad for my kitty's window seat, and this was the right size and I loved the color and stars. It worked great and my kitty loves the fluffiness and comfort. She lays on it every day in the sunshine. It did well in the wash, too.

Soft fleecy fabric but mat is thin
Size: 30''L x 19''W x 1.5''Th, Color: Grey
Got this for a cat who likes to sit on a chair and sheds everywhere - she loves it, and it covers the whole seat of the chair. Fabric is soft and cozy, but the mat is pretty thin and wouldn’t add a lot of comfort to a hard floor or crate
