the vault!
in the prison
talking about inmate experiences
Some of the nicely decorated cells
The cells are actually quite spacious
Things inmates do to pass the time
Hey all the knifes are missing!
With the notorious key to the gun store
lie the high security areas of the prison
So near yet so far
inside the prison compound
this time the warden's office by the hill top
lets head back to jail
The prison block from the courtyard
Oh I am a very good boy indeed!
man! no wonder noone makes it out!
and surrounding gardens
Xmas carnival style!
The administrative block
Visitor waiting areas
Freedom!
The city of San Fran in the distance
Prison warden uniforms
Crude simple spectator seats

Catching some sun
with first hand experiences from inmates themselves
who then escaped through a fan vent
with plenty of coke!
See you Alcatraz!

Neat! a time capsule
The Prison library
where exercises and games are held
The main dining hall
The notorious decoy the Anglin brothers used to fool guards
The door to freedom!
the island lighthouse
where you will be given these audio guides
who knows they might be free men till today
inmate visitation areas
The prison control station
By the Place de la Concorde
The Obelisk of Luxor
A connecting block to more cells
The multi-tier prison network
aka L'Obelisque!
Photogenic!
The Hotel Be La Marine
Apparently all the guides are volunteers
