The former prison is in the game and is the setting of a story operation.
History in brief
Alcatraz was a military fort and prison before it became a maximum-security federal penitentiary from 1934 to 1963. Al Capone was held here. Native American activists occupied the island from 1969 to 1971.
The place today
Run by the National Park Service; ferries leave from Pier 33, and the cellhouse audio tour is the highlight.
