The Rock. No, not the 10x heavyweight champion Scorpion King star. Alcatraz Island is located 1.5 miles from San Francisco in the bay. It started it's life as a military installation on the west coast. After that it became a military jail. Then a federal prison. This 29 year stretch is where the legend of Alcatraz was born. From daring escapes to famous inmates, the island captured our minds through literature and film. After the prison was closed it became a place for protest. Nowadays it is a very popular tourist spot. Shake your cuffs and get ready to get Historically High on Alcatraz
