Teenager at Alcatraz Diversity Event

So a couple of weeks ago, I went to the diversity event Teenager at Alcatraz. Megan Snyder was there too. She's a great person  The event was held by Tim Tingle.  Tim Tingle is an amazing native american storyteller.  He kept my attention throughout the whole presentation and almost brought me to tears at one point with how emotional he got.  In a nut shell, Tingle told us the story of Clarence Carnes, Alcatraz Prison's youngest inmate.  Tingle told us that he learned about Carnes from a friend (I don't remember his name) who lived in Oklahoma and accompanied Carnes on a crime spree.  This man went to prison himself and now lives in the town that he commited some crimes in.  The man's grandson doesn't even know that he commited some of the crimes.  Anywho, Tingle told us some really interesting facts about Carnes including that Carnes took place in a prison riot. The interesting thing about this is that all of the men in the riot had to kill a guard to avoid one of them selling the others out.  Carnes did not kill a guard and this allowed him to get a lessened sentence.  This story really spoke to me, and it was interesting because Tingle is a great storyteller.  I look forward to listening to more lectures in the future if they are as interesting as Teenager at Alcatraz.
