When Allen West failed to appear from his cell, Frank Morris went to see if there was a problem and found West trying to squeeze through the hole. West had misjudged the size of the hole he had dug and was unable to fit through into the utility corridor. The others couldn't wait for him to resolve the situation and left him behind.

Lucas was a troublemaker once he arrived on the island. He helped instigate a work strike in 1936, was known to participate in all sorts of off-limits activities and even attempted to kill Al Capone in the showers with half a pair of scissors. When asked why he tried to kill Al Capone, all Lucas would say was, "Well, he threatened to kill me."

Since Alcatraz was an island with no natural resources, not even water, everything that the present needed had to be brought in by boat or barge. As such, manual labor was required to offload everything. Since the island was full of prisoners, they were used as this manual labor force. Floyd Wilson was one of the prisoners who loaded and offloaded the supplies at the docks.

Witchcraft was a large part of the Ohlone myths, and when a person was thought to have "poisoned" another, the shaman would be called in to judge and, if necessary, protect the people from the sorcerer or witch. if the poison was thought to be in the form of a curse, the shaman would need to counter it. "Poisoning" was thought to be a great selfish act.

Alcatraz was a prison, a military post and a place of both refuge and exile. It has changed the lives of countless people over its existence, from the time of the Native American tribes to the convicts who called the island home—and it is still changes the lives of tourists and others today.
