Christmas Prisoner Reflects On Isolation At McNeil Island
Gramps, a 79-year-old inmate at McNeil Island federal prison, calls Christmas the toughest time while avoiding family visits to prevent hurting relatives. He vows to stay private, recalls four bank robbery sentences since the 1930s, and hints at a distant post release retreat by helicopter or amphibian plane. He plans to vanish from public view if paroled next year.
