where you will be given these audio guides
inside the prison compound
The cells are actually quite spacious
lock and load!
The multi-tier prison network
thick bars, designed to keep stuff in!
with first hand experiences from inmates themselves
the guide brings you along various key points

in the prison
talking about inmate experiences
the life on the rock
In am in Jail! :3
The sky lit roofs
A connecting block to more cells
The golden gate bridge on the west of the island
in the open recreational areas
Looks like something happened here
Catching some sun
where exercises and games are held
The city of San Fran in the distance
many didn't make it across
Many tried crossing the bay
The prison block from the courtyard
Crude simple spectator seats

Behind these walls
lie the high security areas of the prison
solitary confinement!
it's a 2 layer cell
and pitch black inside
with the double gate and door system
lasted from May 2–4, 1946
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
With the notorious key to the gun store
