Alcatraz Island Federal Penitentiary Postcard
Alcatraz Island Penitentiary
Alcatraz Island, under federal jurisdiction since 1850, operated as a federal maximum security penitentiary for 29 years. From the collections of The Golden Gate National Recreational Area.
Once considered the prison of American prisons, the island of Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay has been an asset to the U.S. Army, the federal prison system, jailhouse folklore, and the historic evolution of the West Coast. Despite its reputation as a cold and unforgiving penitentiary, Alcatraz is now one of the most prominent tourist magnets in San Francisco, California.
