Alcatraz Island & Prison
A scenic picture taken of Alcatraz Island located in San Francisco, California. Alcatraz Island served as a military fortification in the 1850’s, an incarceration facility for Spanish-American War prisoners, and a federal maximum-security prison from 1934 to 1963. Alcatraz Island is now one of Golden Gate National Recreation Area's most popular destinations, offering a close-up look at a historic and infamous federal prison long off-limits to the public. Alcatraz Island is also commonly known as the "Rock."
