Did you know that Alcatraz inmates once had privileges based on behavior?

The infamous Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary near San Francisco was known for its strict discipline, but well-behaved inmates could receive small privileges such as library access, musical instruments, and extra recreational time. These incentives were used to maintain order inside a prison that housed some of America’s most dangerous criminals. Even in one of history’s toughest prisons, behavior management played an important role.
