How is it that Al Copone, the famouse gang leader he was, talk the guardsmen and warden into letting him set up his cell almost to a T? i guess he had a way with words.. look at this picture for those who don't know what im talking about... its an interesting read!

lol REDICULOUS!!?? anyone have any thoughts on how he did this?

its funny though, if you read about it, after they moved him into alcatraz.. SAY GOODBYE to his furnished LIVINGS haha..

He proberly had people on the outside threatning the warden and guards familys, if he didnt get what he wanted then there would be trouble.
Even when mob bosses are in Prison they still run the show.
By the time he went to Alcatraz maybe he lost his influence in the underworld.

One word: MONEY.

The link is not working for me

no trust me, it wasnt he was running the show.. that dosent make sense.. espically with the threats.. all i can say is he was probably a great communicator.

I still say money had a lot to do with it. Pay off the guards and you get what you want. It is just the most logical answer.
