HARD TIME: THE LIFE OF AN INCORRIGIBLE ON ALCATRAZ
The true story of Charlie Hopkins #1186 one of the last surviving inmates of Alcatraz Penitentiary.

"My friend and fellow alumni Charlie Hopkins and I both graduated from America's Top Crime School- Charlie was a better student than I- He's still free " -James "Whitey" Bulger, #1428 AZ


What if one could travel back in time and interview one of the 1500 or so hardened criminals that had served time at Alcatraz Penitentiary before it was permanently closed in 1963? Even if one could do such an impossible thing, what exactly would one ask a man who had rubbed shoulders with some of the most notorious gangsters, murderers, and thieves of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s? How would the conversation go when speaking to a close friend of "Creepy" Al Karpis, the "Birdman of Alcatraz" Robert Stroud, and Whitey Bulger. Now, thanks to author Don DeNevi, for the first time one does not need a time machine to recapture the first hand eyewitness accounts of one man's life on Alcatraz. Alcatraz inmate #1186 was Charles Edward Hopkins and Mr. Hopkins was no ordinary inmate. Not only did he serve time with the Anglin brothers who made the only successful escape from Alcatraz but he was well acquainted with notorious crime boss "Bumpy" Johnson and the legendary Italian mafia boss Vito Genevese and many other infamous Alcatraz inmates. Early in his prison career Charlie was clinically pronounced "psychotic" and "incorrigible" and was sent to Alcatraz. After serving his time, Hopkins disappeared into history before re-emerging in recent years as the pen pal of notorious Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger. Never before has Charlie's full story been captured and shared with the public. This is his true story as told in 1999 to author Don DeNevi and recently reviewed by him to ensure maximum historical accuracy. Mr. Hopkins is still alive and is approaching 88 years old and is estimated to be one of the last 5 or 6 remaining inmates that served Hard Time in Alcatraz before its closing in 1963. No matter what you have read or think you know about Alcatraz, you may be certain of one thing, you have never heard a story like this.

My four approve
Color: 3PC-Bacon-Brown, Pattern Name: Tough Dog Toys
My dogs, which I have 4, 2 labradors, one Jack Russell and one medium smallish mixed breed dog, all really love the bones. Three of them seem to be vigorous chewers the mixed breed girl being the toughest one on bones. These bones are holding up really well and the dogs really seem to like them. The dogs have not been able to get any big chunks off of the bones so I feel safe letting them have them even when I’m not watching. I would recommend these to Pet owners.

I have a medium sized dog and these were to big for him. A bigger dog would love them. Great for chewers.

Great enrichment
Size: 2.8in for Small & Medium Dogs
These are great for our 3 dogs, they’re durable and strong. The pup ford training treats fit great into these and it takes our dogs a good bit to get all the treats out. Easy to clean and a great enrichment toy, will buy again!

My dog looks forward to this every day
Size: 2.8in for Small & Medium Dogs
My dog used to have separation anxiety every time I left the house. I tried to find things to distract her when I left, but nothing kept her attention long enough for me to get out of the house. I stuff treats in this ball and she keeps focused and gets all of the treats out. Perfect solution to keep her occupied as I leave for work. Very easy to put treats in and I’ve had it for about 6 months now, which is great because my dog chews toys to pieces within days! High quality ball. I love it so much (well, my dog loves it so much), I bought one to give my neighbor’s dog.
