# Meyer Harris "Mickey" Cohen

Canonical: https://mobfiles.org/people/mickey-cohen/

Alcatraz register no. 1518. The warden's notebook page records receipt on 28 July 1961 by direct commitment under a 15-year sentence for attempting to evade and defeat income tax; he was released on appeal bond, returned on 14 May 1962 and moved to Atlanta on 26 February 1963.

Cohen's notebook page is filed in this archive with the other [Faces](/faces/) records. The criminal-history column of the page lists arrests and their outcomes from 1933 on; it is not transcribed here. The case file, about 7,000 pages, is described in the catalog but is not digitized. The role and family fields are left empty because no record cited here states either. Offenses are given as the notebook form prints them; the "Reason for Transfer" boxes are staff opinion and are not used.
