If you would go up to a group of people and ask them to name the most famous prison that they had ever heard about , they would tell you, Devils Island or Alcatraz Island, and since so many people have heard about Capone, Machinegun Kelly, Alvin (creepy) Karpis, the birdman of Alcatraz, Stroud, to mention but a few, plus the famous escape in 1962.
