with the double gate and door system
get me out!
Many interesting ways inmates try to break out of the cells
remembering those who lost their lives in their line of duty
during the Battle of Alcatraz
lasted from May 2–4, 1946
With the notorious key to the gun store

Some of the nicely decorated cells
Things inmates do to pass the time
The Prison library
The notorious decoy the Anglin brothers used to fool guards
who then escaped through a fan vent
no one knows where they are now, presumed drowned
who knows they might be free men till today
The administrative block
inmate visitation areas
you have 5 minutes!
The prison control station
Visitor waiting areas
with plenty of coke!
the vault!
Prison warden uniforms
Notable wardens of an era gone
The door to freedom!
I see the light!
Freedom!
So near yet so far
San Fran island
the island lighthouse
Neat! a time capsule
Buildings ravaged by the fire
The golden gate in the distance
lets head back to jail
the community areas and library again
The main dining hall
The kitchens
the spread looks good!
food food!
Hey all the knifes are missing!
alcatraz in films
Oh I am a very good boy indeed!
Early dismissal from prison
exploring the outdoors of the rock
The main parade square
and surrounding gardens
The main prison building on the hill
man! no wonder noone makes it out!
More fire ravaged buildings
this time the warden's office by the hill top
