He was given the task of shooting fellow inmates with a shotgun if they attempted to escape. He killed and disabled many prisoners during his time at the Arkansas Penitentiary, punctuated by periods of parole as a reward for his prison protection, and then re-offending and being sent back to resume his role. In December 1934, Persful was convicted for kidnapping and robbery in Paragould, Arkansas and sentenced to 20 years, after which he was transferred to United States Penitentiary, Atlanta. Two inmates recognized him from Arkansas and word spread of his killing of fellow inmates and he began being severely abused. He was transferred to Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary a year later but was recognized and continued to be tortured by his fellow inmates because of his past offenses. In 1937, Persful attempted to cut off his hands in sheer desperation of his experiences at Alcatraz and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He was eventually sent to McNeil Island Penitentiary, where he was again recognized and suffered much abuse from his fellow inmates, despite being heavily watched over by the prison staff. Persful was released in April 1948 and moved in with a relative in Gary, Indiana, never to be convicted of a crime again. (en)
  • Руф Пёрсфул (25 мая 1906 — 16 мая 1991) — американский преступник, осуждённый за убийства, похищения людей и ограбления. Он считается одним из самых опасных и психически неуравновешенных преступников своего времени по мнению властей. В восемнадцатилетнем возрасте был осуждён на 15 лет за убийство и ограбление пожилого мужчины. Был отправлен отбывать наказание в тюрьму штата Арканзас, но в отличие от обычной тюрьмы, в этой тюрьме заключённые должны были работать в фермерском хозяйстве. Был назначен смотрителем за другими заключёнными и вооружён дробовиком с целью предотвращения побегов. За всё время пребывания в этой тюрьме убил и покалечил многих заключённых, прерывая своё пребывание досрочными освобождениями, которые в качестве поощрения выдавались за помощь тюремной охране, но за повторные правонарушения снова отправлялся отбывать срок и назначался на то же место. В декабре 1934 был приговорён к 20 годам за похищение и ограбление в Парагулде. Отправлен в исправительную тюрьму в городе Атланта (штат Джорджия), где двое заключённых узнали его по Арканзасу. Слух о его деяниях быстро распространился по всей тюрьме и Пёрсфул стал подвергаться избиениям.Годом позже был отправлен в федеральную тюрьму Алькатрас, но так же был узнан заключёнными, избиения и издевательства продолжились.В 1937 году Пёрсфул, больше не в силах выносить побои и издевательства, попытался отрезать себе кисти рук, после чего ему поставили диагноз шизофрения.В конце концов его отправили в тюрьму на острове Макнил, где его снова узнали и насилие над ним продолжилось несмотря на усиленный присмотр за ним со стороны тюремной охраны.В апреле 1948 года вышел на свободу и переехал к своему родственнику в Гэри. С тех пор ни разу не был осуждён за какие-либо преступления. (ru)
