Alcatraz staff housing


After the Bureau of Prisons took over in 1933 they started knocking down buildings that were in the way of there plans. In 1940 on the Parade Ground they put up three reinforced concrete apartment complexes. The apartment complexes would house the correction officers and their families on the south end of the island.




For a kid what was it like growing up on the Island? There sign paints a ferry tail. One upon a time, boys and girls rode bikes and ran after balls on the cement below. They did the normal things kids do, while their fathers guarded the nations most incorrigible criminals and their mothers made homes of their Alcatraz apartments. When the whistle blew for the boar each morning, the children headed to school on the mainland. Each afternoon they came home to the island, there they played games outside with the other children.

Thank-you for all your comments and viewing the video. I have other videos I would like you to view.
