Alcatraz Island, "The in Rock," is a historic island in San Francisco Bay famous for its infamous federal penitentiary (1934-1963) that held notorious criminals like Al Capone, known for its harsh conditions and near-impossible escapes due to strong currents and cold water. Managed by the National Park Service, it's now a major tourist attraction featuring the preserved cellhouse with an audio tour, offering stunning views and stories of its past as a military fort, military prison, and site of Native American occupation in 1969, accessible via ferry from San Francisco.
