Adjacent buildings
The main prison building
Lets go to jail!
Who goes in never comes out! wahahaha!
And so the story begins
The main shower areas
Change of clothes anyone?
The open shower areas
Open toilets included!
The queue lines in starts here
where you will be given these audio guides
lock and load!
inside the prison compound
The cells are actually quite spacious
The multi-tier prison network
thick bars, designed to keep stuff in!
the guide brings you along various key points
in the prison
The "cuttoff"
talking about inmate experiences
the life on the rock
with first hand experiences from inmates themselves
In am in Jail! :3
The sky lit roofs
A connecting block to more cells
Catching some sun
in the open recreational areas
where exercises and games are held
Looks like something happened here
The golden gate bridge on the west of the island
The city of San Fran in the distance
Many tried crossing the bay
many didn't make it across
The prison block from the courtyard
Crude simple spectator seats

Behind these walls
The view of freedom
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
get me out!
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
lasted from May 2–4, 1946
With the notorious key to the gun store
