Seventy-five years ago, Alcatraz opened as a federal penitentiary. The anniversary will be commemorated this weekend with a reunion of former convicts and guards who lived on 'the rock.' The last inmates left Alcatraz in 1963. A new book compares their experience with the criminal justice system to that of today's prisoners. Reporter: Michael Montgomery
