The book focuses on Alcatraz, an island located in the San Francisco Bay. Often referred to as The Rock, the small island served as a lighthouse, a military fortification, a military prison, and a federal prison until 1963. In 1972, Alcatraz became a national recreation area and received landmarking designations in 1976 and 1986. Read about famous inmates, the Battle of Alcatraz, the June 1962 escape, and its place in pop culture.
