Originally used as a military fortification, it was later transformed into a federal prison, which operated from 1934 to 1963. Among its inmates were some of the most notorious criminals in American history. Today, Alcatraz is a public museum and one of San Francisco's major tourist attractions, offering insights into American penal history and providing a unique perspective on issues of justice and humanity.
