HARD TIME: THE LIFE OF AN INCORRIGIBLE ON ALCATRAZ
The true story of Charlie Hopkins #1186 one of the last surviving inmates of Alcatraz Penitentiary.

"My friend and fellow alumni Charlie Hopkins and I both graduated from America's Top Crime School- Charlie was a better student than I- He's still free " -James "Whitey" Bulger, #1428 AZ


What if one could travel back in time and interview one of the 1500 or so hardened criminals that had served time at Alcatraz Penitentiary before it was permanently closed in 1963? Even if one could do such an impossible thing, what exactly would one ask a man who had rubbed shoulders with some of the most notorious gangsters, murderers, and thieves of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s? How would the conversation go when speaking to a close friend of "Creepy" Al Karpis, the "Birdman of Alcatraz" Robert Stroud, and Whitey Bulger. Now, thanks to author Don DeNevi, for the first time one does not need a time machine to recapture the first hand eyewitness accounts of one man's life on Alcatraz. Alcatraz inmate #1186 was Charles Edward Hopkins and Mr. Hopkins was no ordinary inmate. Not only did he serve time with the Anglin brothers who made the only successful escape from Alcatraz but he was well acquainted with notorious crime boss "Bumpy" Johnson and the legendary Italian mafia boss Vito Genevese and many other infamous Alcatraz inmates. Early in his prison career Charlie was clinically pronounced "psychotic" and "incorrigible" and was sent to Alcatraz. After serving his time, Hopkins disappeared into history before re-emerging in recent years as the pen pal of notorious Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger. Never before has Charlie's full story been captured and shared with the public. This is his true story as told in 1999 to author Don DeNevi and recently reviewed by him to ensure maximum historical accuracy. Mr. Hopkins is still alive and is approaching 88 years old and is estimated to be one of the last 5 or 6 remaining inmates that served Hard Time in Alcatraz before its closing in 1963. No matter what you have read or think you know about Alcatraz, you may be certain of one thing, you have never heard a story like this.

Love this little thing. Totally worth every penny!
Color: White, Color: White
I love this little powerhouse label maker. Totally worth the value and ease of use and functionality. Also I love that I can easily change text size and font very simply while using. I have used it so many times already and I often make a label for something just because it’s easy and fun and makes things feel very organized. Helped me be very organized in my kids homeschool room, with art supplies, my storage drawer cart and my filing cabinet. Definitely worth buying and it comes with a good amount of labels. I’ve purchased another roll since buying it but I’ve labeled a ton of things. Simple, easy to do on your phone and the labels turn out perfect, clear, concise and even.

Perfect for Organization and Super Efficient
Color: White
I got this label maker because I am going to be a teacher and needed an easy way to label and organize a lot of materials, and it has been perfect for that. It is very quick and efficient, and I was able to start using it right away without any issues. The labels come out clear, and the whole process is simple and convenient, especially when you have a lot to get done. I also really like how compact and easy to use it is, which makes it great for both classroom and home organization. Pros: • Very fast and efficient • Easy to set up and use • Great for organizing classroom materials • Compact and convenient • Great value for the price Overall: This is a great tool if you need to label and organize quickly. I would definitely recommend it, especially for teachers or anyone who likes to stay organized.

Works wonderfully, I'm obsessed with labeling!
Color: Green
This is super easy to set up and use. I love the color and the size. I didn't want a label maker that needed a whole drawer to live in. The print is great, I love the multiple font options. My only complaint is that the label paper cutter on this actually cuts it too short. So when you go to print the next label it believes there is no paper. For the price point, I'd say absolutely worth the purchase

Good, convenient and portable printer
Color: Green, Color: Green
This printer works great for my needs. The battery life has been good and the printer app functionality has worked without any issues. For me it is very easy to use and understand so overall I think it is a good, portable and convenient printer. However my one ad only issue is the labels get stuck and causes an error about 80% of the time meaning the label won’t print out unless I open it and realign it perfectly. That is a pain! I am contemplating returning it for a new one to see if it is just a design flaw or a printer issue so I am rating it 4 stars.

I’m officially old now, but at least my stuff is organized. (A truly im-press-ive gadget).
Color: Green
I hit 30 recently, and apparently, my birthday present from the universe was a sudden, overwhelming urge to organize my garage and pantry. I bought this Nelko P21 to help with the transition into full adulthood, and honestly, it’s been a blast to use. Setting it up was surprisingly painless. You just download the app on your phone, turn on Bluetooth, and it connects almost instantly. The app itself is straightforward—you don't need a tech degree to figure out how to change the fonts, add borders, or even insert little icons. Since it's a thermal printer, you never have to buy ink or deal with messy cartridges, which is a massive plus for me because I would absolutely find a way to spill it. The machine itself is tiny, basically the size of a couple of smartphone decks stacked together, so it doesn't take up any room in a drawer. The labels print fast, the text is sharp, and the adhesive on the tape that comes with it holds up well on plastic storage bins and glass jars. My only minor complaint is that the app forces you to look at a ton of font options, and a lot of them are locked behind a subscription or paywall, but the free, basic fonts are more than enough to label a box of spare cables or spice jars. If you've reached the stage of life where clean storage containers bring you joy, this thing is worth every penny.
