l'm sure you've heard of them.
1:14:03
Some prisoners refer
to the lower levels as dungeons.

1:14:06
They refer to bread and water
as piss and punk.

1:14:10
The dictionary definition of a dungeon is:
''A close, dark prison...

1:14:13
''...or vault, commonly underground.''
1:14:16
The walls of those cells are 6 feet by 9,
and the roof 5 to 6 feet tall.

1:14:19
-Would you call that close?
-ln my opinion, no.

1:14:22
-Are there any light fixtures?
-No, but there aren't any books.

1:14:25
Your Honor...
1:14:26
...the defense offers these photographs
as defense exhibits B, C, D, E and F.

1:14:30
How much light is in these cells
with no window and the door closed?

1:14:33
-Not much.
-How long was Henri held in such a cell?

1:14:36
l don't know exactly.
1:14:37
Three years and two months!
l have the records, if you'd like to see.

1:14:41
-That sounds right.
-Three years and two months.

1:14:43
ln that time, how often was Henri Young
allowed outside for exercise?

1:14:47
Mr. Stamphill, l do not believe that
the exercise time of an inmate is relevant.

1:14:51
l do. Answer the question.
1:14:52
-Objection!
-Objection overruled!

1:14:54
Henri Young tried to escape.
1:14:56
When a criminal escapes from prison,
he doesn't go job-hunting.

1:14:59
He robs somebody or kills somebody.
We do all we can to discourage escape.

1:15:03
ln three years and two months, how often
was Henri allowed outside for exercise?

1:15:07
-Men sentenced to Alcatraz--
-Answer the question!

1:15:09
How often was he allowed
outside for exercise?

1:15:12
-Objection! He's badgering the witness.
-Objection overruled.

1:15:15
Mr. Glenn, you will answer that question.
1:15:19
Young man, l do not recall.
1:15:21
You don't know?
1:15:22
Surely a half hour a year isn't
too difficult to recall, now, is it?

1:15:27
-There is no place in my court for sarcasm.
-Sorry.

1:15:29
l have here a list with 32 names on it.
1:15:32
These are men who were prisoners
at Alcatraz during your tenure. Correct?

1:15:35
l can't remember the name
of every prisoner.

1:15:38
l have committal papers with your
signature as well as the late Dr. Kiley's.

1:15:41
This is defense exhibit G.
1:15:44
All these men were taken off Alcatraz in
straitjackets and put in mental institutions.

1:15:48
-ls that correct?
-Objection!

1:15:50
The question is immaterial.
1:15:51
lmmaterial? Your Honor, l'm saying in lay
terms that Alcatraz drives people insane.

1:15:56
lt has already done so in 32 instances.
lf this is not true, the witness can say so.
