A native of Kansas,[1] he was the second Associate Warden of Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary under James A. Johnston in the late 1930s and 1940s.

[3] Miller was Associate Warden during numerous escape attempts at Alcatraz.

He was once challenged by Henri Young, who complained to Miller that the Alcatraz rules which he and Johnston insisted upon were violations of federal Bureau of Prisons guidelines.

Later he refused to give Young a Bible when he was in solitary confinement in D-Block.
