There is a prison in Frisco City and it is also the famous home of Truman Capote. Either way -- great song. re: the Johnny Cash song “Give my love to Rose” — the lyrics go:
“He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco
For ten long years I’ve paid for what I’ve done
I was trying to get back to Louisiana
To see my Rose and get to know my son”

The old- timers that Herb Caen wrote about are long gone and they are the only ones who had the right.
