Show Notes
The infamous "Battle of Alcatraz" lasted roughly two full days. Inmates and correctional staff traded shots until the military was called in to assist and ultimately ended the standoff. The inmates who were responsible, those that survived, got their day in court. Fifteen officers were wounded and one, Correctional Officer Harold P. Stites, was killed.
It's more than just an, "Officer killed while on duty" scenario, however. What happened to Officer Stites was tragic and horrifying. Details not discussed elsewhere are covered here.
