The name "Alcatraz" conjures up images of violent criminals housed in an escape-proof maximum-security prison on a tiny island in the middle of San Francisco Bay. Some believe that the waters surrounding Alcatraz are shark-infested. Did the infamous Al Capone meet his end at Alcatraz? Students will learn the answers to these and other pressing questions while they research this fascinating piece of our American history.
