Whatever his reasons, he definitely chose a very clever and unique way to get the results that he was looking for.

...and that's for sure. Well worth going to the site.

Maybe he was an ancestor of MacGyver?

I'll say....

It was opened in 1852 after being built by the same prisoners who were going to populate it. Hundreds of inmates have had their necks broken by hanging or, worse, painfully killed in a Hyrdogen Cyanide gas chamber. Inmates on death row would try to commit suicide but all of them failed, thwarted by the all-knowing surveillance systems in place, except one, <STRONG>William Kogut</STRONG>.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://gargles.net/suicide-at-san-quentin/"><P>William Kogut was brought to <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Quentin_State_Prison" linkindex="7">San Quentin State prison</A> for the murder of Mayme Guthrie, a lady who ran a rooming house/gaming house/brothel. The motivation for the murder is not known but it was speculated that he killed her because of her alleged immoral ways. He mostly kept to himself and guards would notice him occasionally playing solitaire with a deck of cards that was provided to him by the prison. Nothing seemed amiss or strange about an inmate playing cards. After all, what was he going to do?
