Why was Al Capone sent to Alcatraz when he was convicted of a white collar crime?

It's true that Capone was convicted for tax evasion which is considered a 'white collar' crime. And it is also true that Alcatraz, the federal prison in the San Francisco Bay was home to the worst and most dangerous men in the country. But it was no secret as to what sort of man Capone really was. He was incredably violent and was a known multiple murderer, so authorities felt Alcatraz was the best place for him. And like almost every other inmate Alcatraz took it's toll on Capone. Long before his expected release date Capone was dealing with the ravages of syphillis. He was going blind and suffered from dementia. He was given early release because of his health and he retired to his palatial home in Florida where he died a short time later.Additional: Income tax evasion is a federal offense. For a prison sentence for a federal crime you will serve it in a federal prison. Back in those days there were no "country club" prisons for white collar criminals.
