Black & White Alcatraz
A scenic black and white photo of Alcatraz Island taken in San Francisco, California. By the late 1850's, the first military prisoners were being housed on the island, but it did not become a Federal prison until 1934. On March 21, 1963, Alcatraz closed after 29 years of operation. There were 36 different men involved in 14 escape attempts from prisoners while on the island. Officially, no one ever succeeded in escaping from Alcatraz, but to this day there are five prisoners listed as "missing and presumed drowned."
