Alcatraz Island, often referred to as “The Rock,” is a small island located just over a mile off the coast of San Francisco. Famous for once housing a notorious federal prison, it was originally used as a military fortification and later as a military prison. The remote location in the middle of the cold, turbulent waters of the Bay made it an ideal site for a high-security prison, where escape was thought to be nearly impossible.
