Whitey Bulger Hand Written Signed Letter "Final Photo" Mob JSA COA - Cell Mate
Mafia Collectors, this item is your calling! Check out this handwritten and signed letter by mafia boss James "Whitey" Bulger! This letter was penned by Bulger while in federal prison at USP Tucson, AZ. We acquired a collection of handwritten letters on photos by Bulger's cellmate while in Tucson. Please see the attached photo in this listing of a letter directly from his cellmate explaining his time with Whitey "locked up" together and see the photo of the two of them together while in prison (the photo of the men wearing the gold and gray clothing). We have redacted his information but if you purchase this item, you will receive a full copy of his letter, unredacted & a copy of the picture of them together.Ā Ā
These letters were written back in 2014 and in each letter it displays a photo of something or someone that either Whitey knew or something related to moments of his time in Alcatraz or Alcatraz history or topics related to crime and the mafia. On the other side of each photo is where he penned in his own hand about the subject on the other side of the photo and his take on that subject. Many of the photos he signed with his full name and his Alcatraz inmate number (1428 AZ) or different inmate ID numbers he had over the years in different prison systems during his lifetime. Many of the letters we received are subjects that include: Al Capone, Richard Tuffle who wrote the screenplay for Escape from Alcatraz, Robert Stroud aka "The Birdman", Clarence Carnes & "Battle of Alcatraz", Kawakita Tomoya fromĀ Kawakita v. United States Supreme Court case and Whitey's very first prison mug shot.Ā
This specific listing is for his "final prison picture" letter. In this letter, he has a little humor and calls prison "crime school". He goes on and quotes Oscar Wilde and talks about Jack Twinning who was one of his best friends when he was in prison in Atlanta and at Alcatraz. Twinning would later go on and be known for the Newhall Massacre back in 1970 in Santa Clarita, California.Ā Ā Bulger signed this specific letter two times, at the top and bottom and the letter measures approximately 3.25" x 4" in size.
Please note that his handwriting at times is very hard to read, so we have done our best to translate the wording for you but please know we could be off a word or few in the translated plain text. We do not guarantee the wording is correct and if you purchase this item, you have been made aware of this in advance.
