The one prison with a name that nearly all Americans recognize instantly - Alcatraz! A place that so captured the imagination with its rich history of inmates and occupiers that Hollywood has made a plethora of films about life on the Rock. From Confederate sympathizers to Al Capone to the birth of the modern American Indian Movement, Alcatraz has welcomed all comers, although not all comers welcomed going there. The rich bird life now inhabiting the rock is an ecologists delight, augmented not only by one million annual visitors, but also by a platoon of volunteers who tend to the gardens on this idyllic island in San Francisco Bay.
