Leavenworth guards that he was a very difficult prisoner and had done some cruel things.
Stroud got to stay 6 years in a “D” block segregation cell, and then 11 years in the prisons hospital for his time in the Alcatraz prison. So, when people get sent to Alcatraz, it's because they broke the rules in the prison they were in before Alcatraz. Roberts 17 years in Alcatraz was because he stabbed a fellow inmate, Robert said himself that the cause was he gave for the stabbing was that the other prisoner snitched on him for taking food to his cell.
