In "Al Capone Does My Shirts," the warden's name is Warden Williams. He oversees the operations of Alcatraz Prison, where the story is set. The character plays a role in the tensions and dynamics between the inmates and their families, particularly impacting the protagonist, Moose Flanagan.
Alcatraz Island's use as a military prison began as early as December 1859. In November 1933 the Attorney General selected James Aloysius Johnston to be the first warden at U.S. Penitentiary, Alcatraz. He took office as warden on January 2, 1934, at first maintaining his office in San Francisco. On April 5 he moved into the commandant's quarters on the island. On June 19, 1934, 87 years of the U.S. Army on Alcatraz had ended - except for 32 hard-case prisoners, who remained on the island in federal custody, turned over to the Justice Department to become the first penitentiary inmates. The army commandant officially turned Alcatraz over to the new warden on June 20, 1934. On July 1, the Attorney General officially ordered the establishment of the U.S. Penitentiary at Alcatraz Island.
On April 1, 1965, Fred T. Wilkerson became the director of the Department of Corrections. Wilkerson had many years of experience in the prison system. He was known as "friendly Fred" because he had an open, easy manner around the inmates.
