I visited Alcatraz 2 years ago. It’s much smaller than you think it is. There’s only one building which is the actual prison. I spent a few mins in the solitary confinement cells and it’s so dark I felt going a lil fidgety after 5 mins

Prisoners: Alcatraz is a whole nightmare 

Al Capone: First time?

@dankwolf1157

I love all the crime videos you guys do always interesting to watch

@TorontoJediMaster

The Silence Rule was lifted after the first few years.  It proved to be more trouble than it was worth and was pretty much unenforecable.

@IKEMENOsakaman

Alcatraz was considered shockingly cruel and inhumane in its day, and yet it sounds like a 5 star resort compared to California's prison system of the early 21st Century.

@MissyCeleste

putting ppl in solidarity should be a extreme measure

January 2020 is when I went to Alcatraz. Flew my mom out to California for her 70th birthday and we also went to Lake Tahoe,  Muir woods, Pier 39 for dinner overlooking San Francisco bay, Stitton beach, California state railroad museum in Sacramento and Yosemite national park. Plus she reconnected with two brothers and met 3 nieces and a great niece.

Glad to see you doing something other than WW3 scenarios

@hatinonyou8260

Being related to the Anglin Brothers and listening to their story makes me happy knowing that they won't be forgotten and that they never got violent during their robberies

@mlevo1011

Having done some time in our current prison situation a few years back, I personally would have probably enjoyed the silence. The one thing that drove me most nuts about prison was the loud idiotic noise.

@robertandrews6915

Could you imagine how bad it would be if you couldn't talk for days and your alone? Lock yourself in your room without a phone, computer or other things inmates can't have just for an hour. It won't be the same because you know you can leave anytime or you can count down to an hour. It would be like being locked in there until someone says you can leave so you have no idea.

Morgan Freeman owes this guy big time for his "well-mannered prisoner with animal friends" character.

I escaped Alcatraz by building a plane with a shirt that later crashed at pack a punch

@theonlygoonie

Alcatraz is like the death penalty without the execution

@deathtotruthers1

My father "escaped" from Alcatraz every year sans wetsuit.  So do hundreds of others - all one needs is a bit of swimming experience.  It's actually not a particularly hard swim.  They used to tell prisoners the waters were shark infested (that's what "Tiburon" means), but there are no predators in the Bay.  There are no white sharks in the Bay.  And no, while some of the swimmers do wear wetsuits, you can't place if you wear one.  Most swimmers don't.

@bilbobagginses4941

So I hate to do this but you got some info wrong. The silent system was developed in the 1820's at Auburn state as well as the Chain gang. It lead to prison reform

@ChairmanMeow1

I'd rather be dead than get solitary confinement for life

@evanderpierznik

Whenever I've driven by it while visiting San Francisco... it's just chilling thinking about the history

@Jah-tj8lp

This is crazy but keep up the good work with these videos🥳

@canadianbattlebunny2875

Imagine being wrongfully convicted for something you didint do, and ending up here
