Rufe Persful

[edit]
  • ... that Rufe Persful was bullied at prisons such as Atlanta, Alcatraz, and McNeil Island because in Arkansas he had been given a prison job which involved shooting fellow inmates who attempted to escape?

  • Comment not a review. The hostility of fellow prisoners seems a bit obvious to me, but I was surprised by his repeated paroling for shooting escapees. YMMV, but I suggest alt2 below.
    Note that I have questioned the reliability of one reference used in the article, although it is not used for the hook. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:06, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
  • ALT2 ... that American murderer Rufe Persful was three times released on parole after shooting fellow inmates who attempted to escape?
  • Alt 2 hook suggested is acceptable. Thanks.--Nvvchar. 21:35, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
  • age and size ok. References formatted. I can't see the google books so will accept good faith on them. Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:33, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
