Frank Heaney was born and raised in Berkeley, across the bay from Alcatraz.
Like most boys of that time, he was fascinated by tales of  the notorious gangsters
who were in the headlines every day, and later by the way so many of them
disappeared into that forbidding island in the middle of San Francisco Bay.
The fascination was just as strong later, when he came home at the end of
World War II. No wonder he responded when he learned there was an opening
there for a correctional officer.
As the youngest officer ever to serve on the island, Frank Heaney admits he
had some hair-raising moments, and sometimes wondered if he hadn't taken
on more than he could handle..


This is the true story of Alcatraz-the story that could only be told by Frank
Heaney, who was there.
