[post_page_title]The last of the Alcatraz prisoners leaving[/post_page_title]
The Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, located on the island of Alcatraz right off the coast of San Francisco, was one of the highest security prisons in the United States. The prison was opened in 1934 and closed in 1963.
In this photo we see the last of the inmates leaving the prison on the day it was slated to be closed. The prison was closed after a successful and violent escape by several inmates in June of 1962.
