Alcatraz Island California Usa

The island of Alcatraz, which is close to California, has a notorious reputation.  

From 1934 to 1963, it was the most guarded federal prison in the US  

sometimes referred to as “The Rock.” Al Capone was one of the famous inmates held at Alcatraz. 

It was one of the most feared jails of its time, and it was only 1.5 miles from San Francisco. 

It was also one of the hardest jails to break out of because Alcatraz Island’s seas were notorious for being icy and deadly 

killing anyone who attempted to flee. Several thousands of people visit the prison each year as a museum 

Guests can take advantage of a self-guided audio tour or a live guided 

tour that features the real-life experiences of prison guards and inmates.
