Tour Alcatraz, the island that’s been a fort, a military prison, and the least relaxing federal penitentiary in history. Walk its eerie halls, hear the echoes of past inmates, and rest assured—this time, you can leave whenever you like.
In its heyday, it was the ultimate maximum security prison. Located on a lonely island in the middle of San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz—aka “The Rock”—had held captives since the Civil War. But it was in 1934, the highpoint of a major war on crime, that Alcatraz was re-fortified into the world’s most secure prison.
