Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay, CA


In operation from 1934 to 1963, Alcatraz Island is known as one of the most feared and innovative prisons in history. Alcatraz, the infamous, experimental prison, was the first taste of isolation to an extreme degree that the nation had ever seen.  Located in the middle of the San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz Island is part of the Golden Gate National Reacreation Area and has become a major hot spot for tourism since it was opened to the public.

People flock from all over the country to experience the lives of notorious convicts, see their artwork and tools, and hear stories of near escapes from "The Rock."  Visit the museum to see actual photographs of prisoners and find out the history and development of the island. Also, see remnant drawings from the island's 19 month American Indian occupation in 1969-1971.  Though it was designed for isolation, you won't be alone when you visit Alcatraz Island.
