Take a look out this prison window, you can see SF. I’m here on this eyesore in the harbour off just off SF. It’s an ugly island with a dark and defensive past. Used as both a prison and a fort, there is a saying about Alcatraz, ‘Those who break the rules go to jail, those who break the prison rules, go to Alcatraz’. It’s a very cold place but the tour is really good, highly recommended.
