Life as a Guard on Alcatraz

Patrick Mahoney was in the Navy for a short time then worked in Alcatraz as a guard for seven years. He was there when the other guards discovered the dummy heads in the beds of the escapees of the Morris-Anglin attempt. Despite the stress of the job, he feels good and is turning 90 this year.

I was fortunate enough to meet him during my Alcatraz trip in September 2016. He gave me an autographed book and we took a photo as well. I went there from India.
