My dad was a guard at Alcatraz. This was after Stroud had left, so he never saw him. But there were a bunch of guards still around there who did know him. We never lived on the island as my dad commuted. We lived in Fresno and my dad would take the bus to Frisco. Sometimes I wished I had lived there, but, at the time I was afraid. But really, being in solitary would not make a man mentally stable. Interesting story, thanks!

[@Steve.Cutler]

Fresno to SF? That's one heck of a commute..

[@estelleadamski308]

@@Steve.Cutler When we moved to CA, my dad was a schoolteacher, he worked at the state prison in Tehachapi for 2 yrs. as well as Merced & Dos Palos. He was NOT cut out to be a teacher. He got a job at Caltrans as a surveyor and helped build I-5. He retired after 30 yrs. there My dad would come from SF on Friday and go back Sun nite

May I add that your story telling has become outstanding! I love all the facts and how you present them. I can really tell you give us the best you have, always! And it's good!

[@annesantos5104]

I had never heard the real story of Robert Stroud, so I found this to be so fascinating and interesting. Strange mystery upon his death why his mother was listed as his wife. Thank you, Jordan for doing this Vlog. That is one cute little Christmas miracle you have as your traveling companion!!

[@applevalleyhillbillygarden1093]

13:11 That was awesome ! I'm glad you knew the Birdman of Alcatraz was buried in Metropolis. Most folks don't know that. I always tell our guests that are heading to Super Museum to check out his grave. My step Dad is from that area, so I knew where he was buried since I was a kid in the 60s. Oh, you did an awesome job showing Superman's town and museum. Did you meet the owner's daughter Morgan while there ? She gives an awesome tour of her Dad's collection. Merry Christmas to you, Katie, your Mom, Grandpa, sister, Jah and rest of the family.

No joke! Loved the comment "they didn't send nice guys to Alcatraz"

[@patbowman6723]

Well said, accurate without the drama. Thank you for telling the truth about Stroud and letting people see how bad the system can be and in part still is. Merry Christmas to you, your family, your girl friend and of course the little elf himself Jaw (spelling).

[@maryellenshock]

I seriously hate to ask this - any relation to Don Stroud, the actor (excellent actor by the way)

I really don't know the answer. It's an interesting question.@@maryellenshock

Have a fabulous CHristmas Jordan and thank you for all the wonderfully interesting upbeat and sadder video stories - they are a regualr part of my screen time.

[@cindyhenning7832]

Jordan thank you for the story on Robert Strouds life! I’d always thought he had the birds at Alcatraz. Strange how the story’s get so jumbled up! Merry Christmas and hi to Katie also! Love little Jahs outfit, he’s so sweet

Merry Christmas my dude, Luv the puppy as always . Wishing you a Happy New Year as well!

[@chapsnaps1]

Thank you Jordan for another really great video! I did the Alcatraz tour back in 1998. On the day we visited, a former guard was present, and he said: "Robert Stroud was nothing like the man portrayed by Burt Lancaster in the movie - he was a nasty piece of work - and he didn't keep birds at Alcatraz." Robert Stroud was obviously an intelligent man - if he had gotten an education at the start of his life perhaps he wouldn't have spent most of it in prison? Have a great Christmas and New Year. We all look forward to the next posting.

[@geneaikenii1092]

Thanks, Jordan. This was a very interesting vlog. god Bless You, brother. Here's wishing you and Kate y a most wonderful Christmas. Your videos bring us so much joy. You are a special person. Keep em coming. big shoutout from a big fan in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Much peace, love and happiness. See ya on the next. Later, dude.

[@johngomes4278]

I remember visiting alcatraz and hearing about the birdman .i remember my dad telling me that the real bird portrayed by burt Lancaster in the movie was not a kind person. This is an interesting segment 👍 thanks jordan for covering these historical figures. Keep up the great work !

[@kathleenmckeithen118]

Jah looks so adorable and happy - It is GREAT to see him!!😍. I visited Alcatraz last summer and took the tour of the cell blocks, cells, mess hall, etc. It was a chilling visit just trying to imagine how men lived out their days on that little island in what once was a fort. Thank you for the video, Jordan, and for showing us sweet, little Jah.

[@jennifursun3303]

have been there years ago sadly a lot of the things I would have loved to have seen was falling apart so you can't see them any more

[@FeatheredLife]

Alot of his books on ornithology (bird diseases) are still used to this day. He was a psychopath no two ways about it, but considering that he had basically no former education, he was a top rated ornithologists.

[@user-qv2cq5kv1h]

Awesome story Jordan! Heard so much about this when I was younger but the way you told the story was so informative!! Thanks for that. Jaw is so stinking CUTE!!! Have a happy New Year!! ❤❤❤

Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!

[@jimweed7269]

I enjoyed your video and how you presented the information. I took two criminolgy classes taught by the retired Chairman of the Federal Parole Commision. He had been involved with many important cases during his time with the Parole Commision, including Robert Stroud's. The professor shared in class that the movie about Robert Stroud was not an accurate portrayal of him. My professor said that Stroud was a psychopathc, violent and manipultive individual in real life. That Stroud even tried to manipulate the people involved in the hearing my professor was part of. Thanks for presenting a more accurate picture of who Robert Stroud was

[@andywinslow9638]

Great video. So informative. Loved seeing Hah. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Jah is precious.

[@Riz2336]

Yeah it is sort of odd how they made him out to be this super gentle nice guy in the film with burt lancaster

Great video Jordan! Thank you for all you do!

[@andyroid5028]

*_Jordan - I was fortunate to visit Alcatraz (as a tourist, lol) back in the year 2000. On the day we visited, one of the youngest prison guards that worked at Alcatraz during the years Stroud (and those other 3 famous prisoners that escaped) and other notable prisoners was there in person signing a book he wrote about Alcatraz. We weren't even aware he was going to be making an appearance. We were very lucky to have picked that day to visit!_* *_Anyway, this guard (and sorry - I just can't seem to remember his name) was very friendly and was quite receptive in talking about his years as an Alcatraz prison guard. ANYWAY... he said that "Robert Stroud was nothing but an angry piece of crap human being." And he went on to say he NEVER had any birds in his cell, nor was hardly ANY of the events that happened in the 'Birdman of Alcatraz' were accurate (or never even happened)!_* _Needless to say (having seen that movie sometime in the 1970s), I was QUITE surprised to hear from someone that interacted with him nearly weekly in real life... that the aforementioned popular movie "romanticized the hell out of Robert Stroud's actual time spent in Alcatraz Prison". Anyway, thanks for posting!_

[@pamelastalnaker]

So glad to see Jah! ❤❤ Merry Christmas

[@kristibrownoly]

Jordan, you are correct. Robert Stroud did time at McNeil Island Federal Prison in Washington state ((southwest of Seattle about 40 minutes) for about 3 years on that manslaughter charge. Interestingly, Charles Manson also did time there, but his charge was for forging checks. Thanks for the interesting post!

[@user-le6tl3eo6u]

Merry Christmas Jordan from Canada

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Same to you!

[@wendyobrien2843]

Wow what a story. I don't think most people have ever heard this. What a complicated guy that needed to stay in prison. Very strange about his mother & especially at the end. Love that you always take the time to tell the true & backside story that maybe has never been shared before. Great job! Merry Christmas to you & Katie & Jah. Hope you have a wonderful holiday with your family Jordan. God bless 🎄❤🎄☃️🎄

This was awesome i never heard the story of Robert Stroud thanks for sharing this. And Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@bigstyx]

I was a prison office for over 27 years and stroud is responsible for the reason that inmates today cannot have pets. It was such a legal battle with him that it changed all the rules. He was known as a A-hole. By both inmates and officers.

[@ellennewth6305]

Certainly a fascinating story! Sounds like Stroud had a pretty rough life, but there must have been some good in him as he learned how to care for those precious little birds.

[@mimallen9307]

Thank you, Jordan, for the straight facts. I was led to believe he ended up being a nice man in prison according to Hollywood. Jah looks like a sweet little elf, being Santa's helper. Give him a big hug for us and have a very Merry Christmas!

Interesting story. Thanks Jordan. That movie did make him known. His story is kind of sad. It seems he was punished while in prison. He might of been tainted by some of the Guards. He was wrong for killing that Guard. It seems he had some anger problems. I don't think they had any psychologist who helped inmates. He might of benifited from some therapy.
