Al Capone as a Neighbor?

The kids who live with their parents on Alcatraz are in a very unsual living environment.  Do YOU think that Alcatraz would make a good place for a kid to grow up? Why or why not??  In your post tell us your opinion, and make sure you give us some good reasons to support it.

  1. I have to admit, it is interesting to consider living on Alcatraz. I really think though that it is not the best environment for children. Murderers, kidnappers, and other criminals are not who I would want to live around!

  34. I don`t think Alcatraz would be all that bad of a place to live at,because in the book it says it is safer than San Fransisco so it sounds pretty safe to me.

  39. Micheal Ann says...I do not think it would be healthy to grown up in Alcatraz. Most kids would probably feel insecure-like an escapee might break in their home or be hiding around the corner waiting to hold them for ransome in exchange for their freedom. I also think it would make a kid feel depressed because of the bad things that would go on around them-inmates on death row, fights all the time, and being surrounded by mostly mean people.

  40. I do not think Alcatraz would not be a good place to live for a kid. It would be a bad place because if a prisoner broke out the they might hurt someone.
