WHAT IS ALCATRAZ?
On CultureTrip.com, there’s an article about Al Capone’s time at Alcatraz. They have a diagram of the island prison that was known as “The Rock”, as well as photos of the cells. Capone served about 4-1/2 years of his 11-year sentence for tax evasion at Alcatraz. Capone played banjo in the inmate band called “the Rock Islanders”. Other tales about Capone and his banjo include: he also used it as a weapon and beat another inmate with the instrument for stabbing him in the prison barber shop; and his ghost still plays the banjo at Alcatraz.
