I stood inside of what they called "The Hole" at Alcatraz. The photo of me I am standing inside the Hole.

The worst cells for confinement as a punishment for inmates who stepped out of line were located at the end of D-Block in cells 9–14, known as "The Hole".The cells were devoid of light and colder than the rest of the prison, and prisoners sent here were regularly stripped, beaten, and tortured and often starved, forced to sleep on the cold concrete floor wearing nothing but light underwear.

I also stood in the cell of Alcatraz most notorious prisoner nicknamed "The Bird Man" Knowing I stood where history once took place made the experience all that more cool =D 

Robert Stroud, who was better known to the public as the Birdman of Alcatraz (January 28, 1890 – November 21, 1963), was transferred to Alcatraz in 1942. At a young age he took to pimping and was involved in a murder during a drunken brawl. After terms in McNeil Island and Leavenworth Federal Prison, where he had killed Officer Andrew Turner, he was transferred to Alcatraz, with his sentence extended.

A self-taught ornithologist, he wrote books, and his Digest on the Diseases of Birds is considered a classic in Ornithology. He was confined to D-Block for most of his duration in Alcatraz in solitary confinement,[128] and after a term in the prison hospital, was transferred to the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri due to serious bad health.[8] Although he was given the name “The Birdman of Alcatraz’, he was not permitted to keep birds in his prison cell as he had been able to do previously. He died in 1963

Fieldtrip while at Stanford Law School.  

I also stood in a dark room. That is crazy. One of the employees is closing the door and it is just DARK. Nothing to see. No suprise that people ar going nuts ...

Pendant la visite, ça prend aux tripes !

 Its an impressive place to see but very very busy with tourists.

Good fun, u feel like it is happening now because u hear the prisioners points of views.

Spooky and amazing!

Alcatraz is really beautiful. I've stand in one of the prison cells, I loved it.

California Adventure trip 2014 

Woo thanks middle school field trips.

There is nothing quite like sitting in an Alcatraz cell staring at a blank wall for 5 minutes. Puts everything into perspective

Pure history and when you visit San Francisco then it is a must place. Breathing the same air what prisoners breathed more than 50 years ago make you think about life different way. At least it happened with me.

 It's not that far away from me. I just need to find a ride.

It was quite an educational trip. It was really fun and I thought it was worth it. It was interesting to be able to stand in places were the worst criminals used to stand.

We where in USA last year (2014) and we where at the prison for at day, and got to expirience the feeling by being a prisoneer. We also got to hear when the prison door closed.

went to alactraz with my dad and cousins

First big time bonding with Ruta

 Alcatraz was awesome! I recomend it to anyone with an eerie sense of adventure!

(photo of SF, don't have any of the prison) I was initially going to stay in the hotel whilst my parents went to Alcatraz. Ended up really enjoying myself, the tour was really well planned out and thoughtful
