# Meyer Harris Cohen's Alcatraz inmate case file, No. 1518 (National Archives catalog entry)

Canonical: https://mobfiles.org/items/nara-117695896-cohen-alcatraz-case-file/

Catalog entry for the Alcatraz case file of register no. 1518, about 7,000 pages, not digitized. The description gives receipt on 28 July 1961 by direct commitment and release on appeal bond on 17 October 1961.

The catalog title is "COHEN, MEYER HARRIS "MICKEY" - Alcatraz Number 1518." The file unit belongs to the series Comprehensive Case Files of Former Inmates Incarcerated at U.S. Penitentiary, Alcatraz, California, in the Records of the Bureau of Prisons at the National Archives at San Francisco. The catalog gives the size as "ca. 7,000 pp." and lists no digitized pages, so the pages themselves have not been read for this archive; the page count is NARA's estimate.

The catalog description gives these fields: offense "INCOME TAX EVASION, FALSE & FRAUDULENT STATEMENTS"; received at Alcatraz 07/28/1961 by direct commitment; transferred 10/17/1961 to "APPEAL BOND." Those are the catalog's entries, not readings of the file.

The notebook page for the same number records a return to Alcatraz on 05-14-62 and a transfer to Atlanta on 02/26/1963; see [the notebook page](/items/nara-236734774-mickey-cohen-alcatraz-1961/).
