Let\u2019s start with what you\u2019re bound to ask: why\u2019d I take damn job if feared from inception whole scheme doomed? I had to because believed only I was tough and traditional enough to prevent do-gooders from ruining entire penal system. If they were going to transform Alcatraz into convict heaven, I was honor bound to limit rot.<\/p>\n
\tIt\u2019s absurd, whole twenty-second century notion criminals only rehabilitated when mollycoddled. I wish pusillanimous reformers weren\u2019t backed by eighty percent of country. How did we become soft? In old days we wouldn\u2019t have spent several billion to make Alcatraz seven-star tropical hotel. I know, some critics claim that\u2019s why I moved there. Poppycock.

I\u2019m thankful office now in cell. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
