About the Item

Vintage 1970 image capturing country superstar Johnny Cash at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary in Kansas. The prison has held some notorious figures during its storied history including former heavyweight champion Jack Johnson, Kansas City political boss Tom Pendergast, disgraced quarterback Michael Vick and Robert Stroud, later known as the Bird Man of Alcatraz. Forty-five years ago, one of the most famous men on the planet entered Leavenworth prison voluntarily: Johnny Cash. Cash was at the peak of his powers in 1970. Two earlier prison albums, recorded at San Quentin and Folsom, had not only re-established Cash's reputation but earned him a television show on ABC. The Man in Black was beamed into nearly four million homes each week and sold out big venues, such as Madison Square Garden. Cash shuffled into Leavenworth between taping two episodes of his show, a month after playing the White House and 10 days before performing at a Billy Graham Crusade in Knoxville, Tenn.
