in Paradise - Alcatraz, San Francisco Bay

and majestic views in the country lies Alcatraz Island. A federal penitentiary
is not usually included on the list of one’s vacation plans, however
the history and beauty of this island warrant an exception. From 1934
to 1963 a number of the most feared criminals in the American penal
system called “the rock” home. Famous for the stark contrast
between its stunningly serene surroundings and the harshness of life
and character inside its walls, Alcatraz has found its way into American
lore.
