Robert Franklin Stroud (January 28, 1890 – November 21, 1963), known as the "Birdman of Alcatraz", was a convicted murderer, American federal prisoner, and author who has been cited as one of the most notorious criminals in United States history.

During his time at Leavenworth Penitentiary, he reared and sold birds and became a respected ornithologist. 

From 1942 to 1959, he was incarcerated at Alcatraz, where regulations did not allow him to keep birds. Stroud was never released from the federal prison system; he was imprisoned from 1909 to his death in 1963.

Despite the ‘Birdman of Alcatraz’ film portraying Stroud as a caring, likeable person, he was actually a psychotic, sadistic individual and one of the most dangerous men held at the Alcatraz high security facility.
