Alcatraz was a prison for big criminals. For example Al Capone and Machine gun Kelly they were huge criminals. It was put on an island so it would be hard for the prisoners to escape. The workers would have to move there because they worked long shifts. It's closed down now but , it's near San Fransisco you can take tours of it there. There were some children on the island but they were protected. The book Al Capone does my shirts sort of gives you a description of Alcatraz as well.
