Alcatraz.This was taken from a boat that we went out on for a bit of a look around...........we actually went out to the island the next day to go through the prison.
We went on a self guided audio tour and it was excellent, you did the tour at your own pace and took all the time you wanted.......I think Wendy will come back to this pic and add some more to it later.
Hi, Wendy here. This was a very interesting experience. The audio was the actual voices of previous inmates and correctional officers so you got a real feel for what the place was like. They told of riots and escapes that happened. There was no successful escapes from Alcatraz......though 3 men did escape on a makeshift raincoat raft and were never seen again.....they believed they drowned or were taken by sharks and the water is freezing. (who knows they may have made it to South America). They were fed well at Alcatraz to keep them fat and lazy. The audio also had lots of sound effects in the background to accentuate what the men were talking about.
