How secure was Alcatraz when it held it's Prisoners?

Answer 1

Quite a lot! Ever since the island was taken over by the Native Americans as a protest spot in the 1960s (or 70s?), there has been a lot of security. In fact, it may even be a federal landmark (as opposed to state), which would mean that federal charges would apply for trying to land there without permission. Since Alcatraz is no longer an active correctional facility,it requires less security to keep people out rather than in. It also have more sophisticated surveillance now, aerial, video and Harbor Patrol and quicker response times,plus on site guards and maintainance staff

---------------------------------

During the daytime, around 5,000 visitors go through the island, and there are several National Park Rangers on the island, including at least one Law Enforcement Officer. On the Night Tour, there is at least one Ranger and one Law Enforcement Officer on the island. Overnight there is a security team that has a contract with the National Park Service.

Of course, there are National Park Law Enforcement Rangers 24/7 on the nearby lands of San Francisco, and the Coast Guard always in the bay.
