This is a place that I am still wanting to visit and hope that you will all come join me in my adventure! The Alcatraz Island is probably one of the well known jails in the U.S. It has had one of the most famous American gangsters that rose to be well known during the prohibition era, Al Capone. One of my favorite people in history, he did so many interesting things that can go down in history! He served a total if six years and a half. It is also rumored that this is island is known to be haunted from all the prisoners that were said to be tortured. It is stated that the jail closed because it was the most expensive prison of any state or federal institute, but others rumor that it closed due to three prisoners escaping Alcatraz. This was a huge deal because this jail was suppose to be the safest jail that no one was suppose to be able to escape from. This is definitely on top of my list to visit, hopefully soon!
