Basically I believe that Alcatraz pretty much had it figured out. 6 days out of the week all you did was get up and eat, do 8 hours of work, then sit around bored in your cell. then on Sundays you got the priveledge of walking the prison yard for a couple hours and you didn't have to work. As far as I know you didn't get paid for the work you did either.
No doubt some will find flaws in that system. But most of them are a psyche issue.

Hey, no worries, I've done all the tours at Alcatraz (while my wife was working for the DOJ in S.F.) and I agree. But, remember, Alcatraz was a "secondary" prison, meaning you only went there if you were a miscreant at a normal federal prison.
