Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name was George Kelly Barnes, was sent to Alcatraz for his involvement in organized crime, particularly for kidnapping and extortion. He was convicted in 1933 for his role in the kidnapping of a wealthy businessman, which led to a 17-year prison sentence. Alcatraz was known for housing some of the most notorious criminals, and Kelly was one of its infamous inmates until his release in 1951.
