Actually it was.
From 1850 to 1861, it was a military and naval base. And an important one.
From 1861 to 1933, it was used as a POW prison, housing prisoners in the Civil War and the First World War.
Then in 1934, it became a federal prison. In 1963, it was closed as a prison due to high running costs.
In 1969 it was a community for native Americans. However they were kicked out in 1971.
In 1972, it became a national park. And it still is today.

Who else lived on Alcatraz other than the prisoners?
In addition to prisoners, Alcatraz housed a small number of staff members, including guards, their families, and various support personnel. The families of prison staff lived on the island, creating a unique community in an otherwise isolated environment. Additionally, there were maintenance workers and medical staff who contributed to the daily operations of the prison. These non-prisoner residents played a crucial role in the functioning of Alcatraz during its years of operation.

What place is more unescapable Alcatraz or Bermuda Triangle?
Well, let's see... Alcatraz has not been a prison since the early Sixties, people come and go all the time. The Bermuda Triangle is a manufactured mystery; you are no more likely to vanish there than anywhere else, or you can bet Lloyd's of London would forbid traffic in it. So neither place is particularly inescapable.
