I thought that this was a nice book about the time Al spent in prison. It shows you documents letters and whole variety of things that helps you learn more about him.

This is a really short book with a lot of photos and letters in it. It just showed what life was like behind bars for Capone in three different prisons. He also lived at a time when penicillin hadn't been invented and died from syphilis.

[Jake]

I thought it was strange learning all these things about Al Capone like how he wasn't a aggressive person in jail or how he died from a illness not from getting shot. Overall i guess the book was pretty good.

[Sam Mudd]

I think that this book was very interesting, because I think Alcatraz is awesome. I saw Alcatraz one time when I was in San Francisco. I would tell a friend to read this because it's really interesting.

[Lovelle]

I think this book was actually pretty good. There was alot of stuff I didn't even know about Capone. I knew about Alcatraz, but I didn't know that Al went there. It's alot of amusing things in this book and I recommend this.

I thought that this was a good book. I got to learn about how Alcatraz. And I got to learn about how Al Capone lived in Alcatraz.

[Azariah]

This book really tells you about the background of the person that no one really knows. This book s perfect for teens doing a quick report on someone.

[Katelyn Walgren]

This is a good book that tells about Al Capone's life and how it was behind bars. I liked this book because it gave actual documents and facts as it wasn't just telling about his life.

[Ethan]
