ALCATRAZ
Alcatraz Island.


For further in depth reading on this interesting island please visit the many interesting sites on the web


Alcatraz  island was the last stop for Al capone.I wish to thank Mr.Tim Brazil for the following info on Alcatraz.He is a guide on Alcatraz island.I also wish to thank Jolene Babyak and Mr.John Martini for their tireless work in deciphering the cellblock numbering system which clears up alot of speculation on where Al cell was.Also would like to thank all the Park Rangers and Tour guides who do an outsatnding job caring about this historical island.
Al was located in cell block B. The numbers to these cells were later repainted on the orders of later Wardens.
                CELL BLOCK B SECOND TIER       

           EARLIER                                LATER
               
 Al's original cell number 181 under Warden Johnston (left) later became number 206 under Warden Swope (Right).

Prisoner permission slips filled out by Capone to request interview or privileges show his
cell being that of 181.This was stated in Robert Schoenberg's book called Mr.Capone.
