Crude simple spectator seats

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

Some of the nicely decorated cells
The Prison library
Things inmates do to pass the time
The view of freedom
inmate visitation areas
who then escaped through a fan vent
The administrative block
you have 5 minutes!
The prison control station
The door to freedom!
Visitor waiting areas
with plenty of coke!
who knows they might be free men till today
the vault!
Prison warden uniforms
Notable wardens of an era gone
Freedom!
lets head back to jail
So near yet so far
San Fran island
no one knows where they are now, presumed drowned
the island lighthouse
I see the light!
Neat! a time capsule
Buildings ravaged by the fire
The golden gate in the distance
The notorious decoy the Anglin brothers used to fool guards
the community areas and library again
The main dining hall
the spread looks good!
The kitchens
food food!
Hey all the knifes are missing!
alcatraz in films
Oh I am a very good boy indeed!
