This meant people could only be sent to the island if they'd committed a crime and been convicted in court. matched

This time, everything was official, with paperwork to track the inmates and their sentences. matched

And at least in theory, the guards were supposed to follow certain policies that would keep inmates safe. matched

But Alcatraz Prison was still a brutal place, to the point that it earned nicknames like The Rock and Helcatraz. matched

Federal officials wanted Alcatraz to appear horribly remote and harsh because it served an important PR purpose. matched

Meanwhile, the 275 or so inmates had to follow a very strict and repetitive daily schedule. matched

The men would wake up at the same time, eat at the same time, go to bed at the same time. matched

If they wanted to read a book, write a letter, or see visitors, they'd have to earn it through good behavior. matched

Which was easier said than done, because Alcatraz was imprisoning the worst of the worst. matched

Some of the most notorious criminals of all time were sentenced there, including a notorious gangster named George Machine Gun Kelly and Robert Stroud, who killed two men, including a guard at a different prison. matched

But Alcatraz's most recognizable inmate was Al Capone, the man infamous for running a brutal organized crime operation in Chicago. matched

But even after his conviction, Capone was very manipulative and good at charming people. matched

He spent time in multiple other prisons, and he always managed to wrap guards around his finger. matched

So in 1934, he was sent to Alcatraz, matched

where it wouldn't be as easy for him to get his way. matched

But after he arrived in the Bay Area, Capone was faced with a different kind of problem. matched

Actually, despite the nasty PR campaign, Alcatraz was better than some other prisons at the time. matched

In the 1930s, lots of facilities in the U.S. matched

were overcrowded, but only a select number of prisoners were sent to Alcatraz. matched

Most people weren't bad or violent enough to qualify, so it was never at full capacity. matched
