Goodbye, Bob.
2:04:33
Goodbye, wife.

A prison is
a vast boiler of despair,
2:04:48
stoked by hatred and anger.
2:04:51
Alcatraz has the reputation of being
the harshest of all American prisons.
2:04:55
This means endless hours of idleness,
2:04:59
with little useful work and
limited prospects for rehabilitation.
2:05:04
Eventually, the pressure of life
without hope becomes unendurable.
2:05:17
On a lovely spring day in May 1946,
2:05:20
two convicts named Logue and Burns
2:05:24
started one of the most terrifying
riots in prison history.
2:05:28
With a contrivance made
in the machine shop and smuggled out,
2:05:32
Burns spread the bars in the gun gallery,
2:05:35
secured arms and ammunition,
and crossed over to "D" block,
2:05:39
which contained Robert Stroud's cell.
2:05:52
You.
2:05:54
Hapling.
2:05:57
Come here.
