The Rock


One of if not the most famous prison on the west coast is Alcatraz. From the mid 1930's until the mid 1960's, Alcatraz was America's premier maximum-security prison, the final stop for the nation's most incorrigible inmates. Today, Alcatraz is a place of contradictions, with a grim past and an enduring future as one of San Francisco's most prominent landmarks and tourist attractions.

Bernard,
Great blog. I used to live in Tracy, CA and my dad worked in San Francisco. Your blog makes me think of living out there again.
