During his days of crime, Darwin Coon was a reckless young man.

"This is 127. This is where I've spent four years of my life."
“這是127，我在這里呆了四年。”
"And it just starts to squeeze you, starts to close in on you.
“然后開始擠壓你，貼近你。
And I guess it's from the fact that you are in such a small area and not allowed to go any further.
我猜這是由于你待在這個小空間里，又不能出去。
You, ah, you lose the sense of reality and, er, you wonder whether you are part of the real world."
你失去了真實感，你想知道自己是屬于這個真實的世界。”
Each of these convicts hunger to survive, each struggle for ways to beat the odds and beat the time.
每個罪犯，渴望生存，每個人都尋找機會和時間斗爭。
For Darwin Coon, his felony sentence meant long hours in his cell.

"Er, there really wasn't much to entertain yourself with on Alcatraz. There were very few guys pace in their cell because it was so small.
“在惡魔島沒有什么娛樂。由于地方太小，大家活動不開。
They, that's all they ever did to themselves. They just lay back and, and, and, and look at the ceiling. "
他們，這就是他們的所有的娛樂。他們只能躺著盯著天花板。”
To keep sane, Darwin read books from the highly-censored library, painted and played an instrument.
為了保持神志清醒，達爾文從圖書館借書，畫畫，演奏樂器。
He also fought the isolation by interacting with his fellow inmates. He even played chess with cell neighbors.
他還通過和獄友交流來對抗孤獨。他甚至和隔壁牢房的獄友下棋。
"You have a new chessboard set up. And your opponent would make a move."
“擺上新的棋牌，你的對手走一步。”
"When you caught what he moved, you make the move on the board and then you call your move."
當你得知他走的哪一步棋后，你在棋盤上擺出來，然后你走。”
And to communicate with more distant inmates, Darwin discovered some secret survival techniques that inmates kept to themselves.

One, use the talking pipe built right in the cell.

"Yeah, Tony, ah? Tonight, it's gonna happen."
“托尼么？今晚，就在今晚了。”
"Er, flush your toilet, and then you scoop all the excessive water out, so that you got a clear line,
“沖廁所，然后舀出多余的水，這樣管道就干凈了，
and if he does the same thing upstairs, you have just like a telephone, you know."
如果他在樓上做了同一件事，那么你就有了一部電話。”
"Alright, see you tonight."
“好的，今晚見。”
But he and all the inmates knew the guards were always listening.
但是他和所有獄友都知道看守總聽他們講話。
To keep their secrets to themselves, Coon and his cell neighbors had another trick- a whistle that told everyone, a guard's on the way.
為了保密，庫恩和獄友有另一個花招—吹口哨告訴每個人，看守要來了。
"Coming Around the Mountain was a, our signal that there was an officer on the tier."
“《Coming Around the Mountain》是我們通知這一層由警官過來的信號。”
