Alcatraz Island is located in San Francisco Bay and is known for its infamous former prison. The island was first developed with a lighthouse in 1854 and later used as a military fortification. In 1934, it became a federal prison that housed some of the most notorious criminals in American history, including Al Capone and Robert Stroud, the "Birdman of Alcatraz."

The prison was closed in 1963, and the island was later turned into a national park. Today, visitors can take a ferry to the island and tour the prison, as well as explore the island's natural beauty and historical landmarks.
