Take a journey deep inside the mind of an Alcatraz prisoner in this haunting CD of spoken word poetry written and read by former Alcatraz inmate John Banner.

---

Banner discovered his gift for writing poetry and verse while in prison, and wrote much of this material in his cell in the 1950's. It provides a rare glimpse into what Alcatraz was really like - the psychological aspects of the experience. Banner combines the introspection of a poet with the knowledge of a historian to create this unique CD, backed by a sensitive musical score and sound effects - this CD will take you into the dark depths of America's most legendary prison like nothing else.  Banner was a featured character in the documentary Alcatraz Reunion.
