We have all hear about Alcatraz. It was taught briefly during our long days at school. It’s an Island, it’s a jail, its an islands that’s a jail. Prison is a better word because the people sent to Alcatraz were not people you wanted to be hanging around with. Right off the coast of San Francisco is the island of Alcatraz which today is just a museum that teaches tourists about the no longer used prison. There is lots of history on this island because every individual who set forth on the island had it cataloged to be recorded. There is a myth that is associated about Alcatraz. It was said to be the best prison ever built because even if you got out of the cells you still had the raging waters outside to deal with before you got out. Well the myth is that a few people actually did get out making a raft out of rain coats. No one really knows if it happened for sure but there is a portion of the museum that has details on the escape attempt. The island is filled with rich history and historic building visit the island and take a walk through the cell blocks and the visitors center which has lots of great info on the island. It’s a step back in time and really worth a trip to the island.
