At Alcatraz, prisoners often believed that their harsh conditions and isolation were designed to break their spirits, leading to a sense of hopelessness. Many saw the prison as inescapable, reinforcing their feelings of despair. Guards, on the other hand, typically viewed their role as maintaining order and discipline, often believing that strict enforcement was necessary to manage the dangerous inmates. This created a tense atmosphere marked by mutual distrust and resentment.

How much does an Alcatraz guard make?

Alcatraz has been closed as a prison since the early 60s, so there are no prison guards there. Either you are thinking of San Quentin, and the average there is just under $100,000 I believe, or.... The people in uniform you are referring to on Alcatraz are Park Rangers, as Alcatraz is now a part of the US Park system (hence tourism). Hope that helps.
