Inside Alcatraz!!
Welcome to Alcatraz!!
This shot does not give you the concept of how small and primitive the cells were and most men could extend their arms and touch each wall within their cell.
Each cell typically measured 9 feet (2.7 m) by 5 feet (1.5 m) and 7 feet (2.1 m) high with a small sink with cold running water, small sleeping bed, and a toilet. The cells in D Block (segregation) were more spacious, but still the least popular.
Alcatraz Island is located in San Francisco Bay, 1.25 miles offshore from San Francisco, California and was developed with facilities for a lighthouse, a military fortification, a military prison, and a federal prison from 1934 until 21 March 1963.
