in the open recreational areas
the life on the rock
solitary confinement!
Looks like something happened here
The sky lit roofs
alcatraz in films
More fire ravaged buildings
Lets move on!
get me out!
Behind these walls
The golden gate in the distance
thick bars, designed to keep stuff in!
The cliffside walk of the island
many didn't make it across
Notable wardens of an era gone
no one knows where they are now, presumed drowned
the spread looks good!
The main parade square
I am not escaping!
Buildings ravaged by the fire
the guide brings you along various key points
with the double gate and door system
the vault!
cheese! precarious looking structure on a cliff!
Early dismissal from prison
Many tried crossing the bay
talking about inmate experiences
in the prison
The cells are actually quite spacious
So near yet so far
Hey all the knifes are missing!
inside the prison compound
lie the high security areas of the prison
Some of the nicely decorated cells
Things inmates do to pass the time
this time the warden's office by the hill top
With the notorious key to the gun store
The prison block from the courtyard
lets head back to jail
man! no wonder noone makes it out!
and surrounding gardens
Oh I am a very good boy indeed!
Xmas carnival style!
Freedom!
Visitor waiting areas
The administrative block
The city of San Fran in the distance
Prison warden uniforms
with first hand experiences from inmates themselves
Catching some sun
