L'isolotto di Alcatraz è reso famoso per essere stato la sede della prigione federale di massima sicurezza dal 1934 al 1963, per i criminali più pericolosi d'America (come Al Capone). Prigione nota per l'impossibilità di fuga dovuta alle acque gelide e alle forti correnti della baia di San Francisco, e per i leggendari tentativi di evasione, soprattutto quello del 1962, che l'hanno resa un'icona nella cultura popolare, immortalata nel film ("Fuga da Alcatraz", "The Rock"), ed in libri e canzoni. Oggi è stata trasformata in attrazione turistica. La prigione di Alcatraz fu chiusa da Robert Kennedy nel 1963 principalmente per costi di gestione insostenibili, dovuti alla necessità di trasportare tutto via mare e alla corrosione salina che danneggiava le strutture, rendendo il mantenimento molto più caro che in altre carceri federali.

Every time I see photos of the place (my brother took a similar one last year in view of Frisco and its surroundings) I can't help but think of the historic escape, managing to overcome that icy water rippled by perennial very tense currents. Naval surveillance was reduced to a minimum precisely because it was certain that no one would be able to cross those waters.
