From a forger to the Birdman of Alcatraz, the federal prison known as  United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth (USP Leavenworth) has been housing inmates since the early 1900s.

One of the souls whose face was frozen in time at the federal prison was  morphine addict Solomon Sivils, taken in 1904 after he was sentenced to 18 months for introducing liquor to Indian territory.

Also shown is Adolph Fein, who guards believed pretended to be blind to shirk work. His story ended in tragedy after they kept placing him in solitary confinement until he was declared insane.   

Leavenworth also hosted one of the most famous prisoners of them all, convicted murderer turned incarcerated bird scientist, Robert Stroud.

He was first known as the Birdman of Leavenworth before transferring to another notorious prison, Alcatraz.

The penitentiary was built by military prisoners at nearby Fort Leavenworth in Kansas from the turn of the 20th Century

It is noted on his admission file that he was devoted to the scientific study of birds. Hence, his nickname 'The Birdman of Leavenworth'. He would go on to make contributions to the science of ornithology. Stroud would never leave the federal prison system, transferring to the infamous Alcatraz prison in 1942 and dying in a Missouri prison in 1963 after 54 years of incarceration

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
