Bumpy Johnson, the infamous Harlem mobster, was not actually imprisoned in Alcatraz. He was incarcerated in various facilities during his criminal career, but his most notable time in prison occurred in the late 1940s. Alcatraz primarily held more notorious criminals, and while Johnson was a significant figure in organized crime, he was not among the inmates of that infamous prison.
The prison surrounded by water is called Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, commonly known as Alcatraz. Located on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay, California, it operated from 1934 until 1963 and was home to some of the most notorious criminals in American history. The island's isolation made it a secure facility, and it has since become a popular tourist destination.
