Alcatraz started out as a civil war fort and evolved into a CA high security prison. It is located on an island in San Francisco Bay which is very cold water and the tides are very dangerous so escape was impossible. Two men did escape and they never did find them. Authorities figure they died in the swim trying to read land. It made the perfect place to put very dangerous men.
