Apologies for the 2 weeks of silence! Spring break made it virtually impossible to get any real recording done around here. Anyway...We're led to believe that because it, "isn't a penitentiary," that FCI Oxford is a safer, run-of-the-mill place. Maybe it was once, but not after three inmates decided that an officer was going to die.Credit where its due:Thank you to free-stock-music.com for the following tunes:fcsm productions, "decisive hours" and fsm team's "yellowtree"

The second episode covering the "Battle of Alcatraz," this time we meet Correctional Officer William B. Miller.Officer Miller endured more than any correctional officer should have to: he was beaten, thrown into a cell, and an inmate got his hands on a gun and shot him. Through all that, before he died Miller was able to communicate the identity of his killer.He gave more than he was ever asked to give, and we honor him here by sharing his story.Credit where it's due: free-stock-music.com"Motivational Background Music" by Alex Productions"Undertow" by Scott Buckley at www.scottbuckley.com.au"Decisive Hours" by FCSM Productions

The infamous "Battle of Alcatraz" lasted roughly two full days. Inmates and correctional staff traded shots until the military was called in to assist and ultimately ended the standoff. The inmates who were responsible, those that survived, got their day in court. Fifteen officers were wounded and one, Correctional Officer Harold P. Stites, was killed.It's more than just an, "Officer killed while on duty" scenario, however. What happened to Officer Stites was tragic and horrifying. Details not discussed elsewhere are covered here.Credit where it's due: Thanks to Alex Productions and free-stock-music.com for the intro/outro music.fscm productions "decisive hours"Alex Productions, "Desolation"
