This song is about Alvin Karpis who was the last of the "Public Enemies" that J. Edger Hoover hunted down in the 1930's. Karpis spent 25 years in Alcatraz. I imagine Yow read Karpis's autobiography and wrote the song based on an incident in Karpis' life.
@zdepthcharge ... not to mention, Karpis taught Charles Manson to play the guitar while they were in prison together. And this prison bit by Manson came after he went on a bit of a spree raping boys.
