Have you ever been locked up or committed a crime?

Many years ago, early 70’s, I think, I was in a fight with another motorist near Bromsgrove (I didn’t start it) but the police and magistrates just saw it as two blokes in a fight and had no interest as to who was to blame, so we were both bound over to keep the peace for 12 months!

I visited Alcatraz in 1999, what a place! Very grim if you were locked up there for the rest of your life. There were some very bad men incarcerated in Alcatraz but also some who had only committed relatively minor offences. I saw an interesting film recently that investigated whether the three escapees, as in the Clint Eastwood film ‘Escape from Alcatraz’, actually made good their bid for freedom or whether they drowned in the attempt. It would seem very likely that they did make good their escape; the film focused mainly on the Anglin brothers, about whom there is quite a lot of information but very little regarding Frank Morris.

I also visited Alcatraz some years ago, we managed to get on the last visit of the day when they had the lock-down, the clang as the cell gates closed for the night sent shivers down your spine
