Freedom!
I see the light!
The door to freedom!
Notable wardens of an era gone
Prison warden uniforms
the vault!
with plenty of coke!
Visitor waiting areas
The prison control station
you have 5 minutes!
inmate visitation areas
The administrative block
who knows they might be free men till today
no one knows where they are now, presumed drowned
who then escaped through a fan vent
The notorious decoy the Anglin brothers used to fool guards
The Prison library
Things inmates do to pass the time
Some of the nicely decorated cells
alcatraz_090.jpg
With the notorious key to the gun store
lasted from May 2–4, 1946
during the Battle of Alcatraz
remembering those who lost their lives in their line of duty
Many interesting ways inmates try to break out of the cells
get me out!
with the double gate and door system
and pitch black inside
it's a 2 layer cell
solitary confinement!
lie the high security areas of the prison
The view of freedom
Behind these walls

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