remembering those who lost their lives in their line of duty
San Fran island
No wonder it's called the rock!
Many interesting ways inmates try to break out of the cells
it's a 2 layer cell
during the Battle of Alcatraz
the life on the rock
The view of freedom
Behind these walls
The kitchens
lock and load!
and pitch black inside
solitary confinement!
mm salty sea!
exploring the outdoors of the rock
Looks like something happened here
pokey plants!
The golden gate bridge on the west of the island
talking about inmate experiences
The main prison building on the hill
rocky!
get me out!
food food!
In am in Jail! :3
lie the high security areas of the prison
many didn't make it across
The "cuttoff"
in the prison
the community areas and library again
Crude simple spectator seats
Many tried crossing the bay
with the double gate and door system
in the open recreational areas
Early dismissal from prison
More fire ravaged buildings
Some of the nicely decorated cells
the guide brings you along various key points
Hey all the knifes are missing!
I am not escaping!
Notable wardens of an era gone
I see the light!
The city of San Fran in the distance
The cliffside walk of the island
the spread looks good!
no one knows where they are now, presumed drowned
The sky lit roofs
cheese! precarious looking structure on a cliff!
the vault!
The administrative block
Buildings ravaged by the fire
