View of the Golden Gate Bridge from the Backside of the island.

The supposed escape route that the three men used to escape frokm Alcatraz. Sorry, I can't seem to remember the names. There is a famous movie about it though. Gotta love Clint Eastwood, right Dad?

The had pictures of the knives used in the kitchen behinnd where they were hung to make sure that they were all there at all times.

View of the Sallyport from the walkway to the cellblocks.


The guards area. This is where they would report for duty and sound alarms if needed.



This is where the prisoners got showered and recieved theur prison uniforms upon arriving to the island.



The cell block.

A typical cell. Comfy Huh!?
Solitary Confinement.
