What makes Alcatraz Island so interesting is the infamous story of the people who escaped and also just how it is a maximum security prison in the middle of the ocean. I want to learn about the beginning when the prison first started being used. An interesting fact I learned from the articles is how most of the 1,545 inmates in the prison were unknown to the public.]]> 2023-04-26 18:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569247418 mtarazon2 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569247840 I think Alcatraz is intriguing because it has been used for so many different causes.  I want to learn who was housed in the prison, also, how we got people to the island.  One new fact I learned is Alcatraz island was used as a fort and was an important area of defense and was a housing area during the civil war. ]]> 2023-04-26 18:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569247840 khurt18 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569248507 Alcatraz is interesting because I have heard many stories about it that interest me. It is captivating because I have been there and I want to learn more about it when it was in it's prime. I want to learn about who came up with the idea and who executed the idea of a prison island. One thing I learned from the articles is it became a national park in 1972.]]> 2023-04-26 18:55:23 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569248507 iwedemeyer1 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569250383 Alcatraz Island is so interesting because of its location in my opinion. The strategic placement of the prison on this island is unlike most others and was meant to ensure the most dangerous prisoners could not walk free. I want to learn what happened to the three prisoners who escaped, but I know that isn't possible. One fact I learned from the articles is that the name Alcatraz comes from the Spanish name given to it: "Isla De Los Alcatratces"]]> 2023-04-26 18:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569250383 jbote11 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569251760 Alcatraz Island is something that I have known about since elementary school and the history and stories that I've heard about it are pretty interesting. I want to learn if it were still used today and upgraded to today's standards would it still be the most secure prison in America. One new thing that I learned is that Alcatraz was one of the nicer prisons despite holding some of the most federal prisoners.]]> 2023-04-26 18:58:25 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569251760 vtrujillo19 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569251923 What's interesting about Alcatraz is that it was impossible to escape the island because of the security, the cold water, and how far it was to get to shore. Surprisingly three inmates got out John and Clarence Anglin and Frank Morris made paper mache heads of themselves to trick the guards into thinking that the men were in the cells, when in reality they left the cell from an unused corridor behind their cells. They left the island by making a raft with raincoats. The inmates were never found alive or dead. I want to learn where the idea of the Alcatraz Island came, and how they decided to get all these prisoners on the island. One new fact I learned was that 1,545 inmates were unknown.]]> 2023-04-26 18:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569251923 dalvarado42 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569252398 Something that was interesting to me was how Alcatraz is different at night than during the day and people don't get to experience it. Another thing that was interesting is how they are still investigating if the 3 men had survived the big escape. Why didn't they just make Alcatraz in the United States instead of making it on the island, so they could avoid all problems with taking the things to the island. One new fact that I learned from the articles is that Alcatraz ended because inmate rehabilitation, and the structure needed millions of dollars worth of repair and maintenance.]]> 2023-04-26 18:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569252398 cchavez1110 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569252559 The most interesting thing about Alcatraz is all of the stories about it especially of the 3 guys who "escaped" it. Something that I want to learn about Alcatraz is how it impacted the Civil War since the articles stated that it was used as a war camp. Something I learned is that the "Indians of All Tribes" occupied the island from 1969 to 1971.]]> 2023-04-26 18:59:04 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569252559 tdoan12 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569252729 Alcatraz Island is interesting because it was unable to reflect the societal shift to inmate rehabilitation. I want to learn the history of the prison and why they decided to located it where they did. One new fact I learned was that there was a prisoner named Robert Stoud who was kept there, he was known his bird studies and was fitting that he was put in Alcatraz since early explored called it the "Island of the Pelicans".]]> 2023-04-26 18:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569252729 levans121 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569253306 Alcatraz island is very intriguing because they claimed it to be unable to escape and then 3 inmates escaped and were never found. I want to learn how they ran their security and how it was even possible they escaped. On thing that I learned was Al Calpone was in that prison I think that is really cool cause that tells you that they had some of the biggest criminals there.]]> 2023-04-26 18:59:49 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569253306 nrodarte2 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569256407 Alcatraz Island is interesting because of its location and its history. It was known as "The Rock" which is interesting. It was known as The Rock because of its strength as a prison and its brutal reputation.

Also its crazy that people actually escaped from there.

It was used for so many things in its short lifetime and I find that very interesting. I have been there before during the daytime, but I'm sure it's a lot more spooky during the night like the one article states. One new thing I learned was that the island was named "Island of the Pelicans" by an early Spanish explorer, which is an intriguing coincidence since Robert Franklin Stroud, "The Birdman of Alcatraz", was located there for a majority of his prison sentence.]]> 2023-04-26 19:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569257347 agarcia2631 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569260121 Alcatraz Island is very interesting because its supposed to be one of the most hard prisons to escape from.But still there was people who escaped.Based on where the prison is located it would be almost impossible to escape from it.So the fact that people were able to escape is crazy to people.One thing i learned how nice Alcatraz was it was considered to be one of the nicer prisons despite it being a prison for some of the worst criminals.]]> 2023-04-26 19:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569260121 mramirez611 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569261186 When I was in 5th grade I went to Alcatraz because I was down there for my brother's baseball tournament. I have heard crazy stories and mostly conspiracies about the tools people would make to roam around the prison and try to escape. It is interesting to me because when those people are in there they think of these ideas and things that I would have never thought of. Things that I learned are that it is known as the Rock, not just because of its location but because of its strength and strict-ness as a prison.]]> 2023-04-26 19:07:14 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569261186 gmarin28 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569261817 Alcatraz Island is an intriguing and captivating destination for many people due to its fascinating history as an abandoned federal prison and its location in the middle of San Francisco Bay. The island has shaped California many ways from helping its military and also helping with the federal justice system. One new fact that I learned was that Native American activists occupied Alcatraz Island for 19 months in the late 1960s and early 1970s.]]> 2023-04-26 19:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569261817 nramirez107 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569264123 Alcatraz Island is interesting to me because the island served a purpose for multiple things. It was once a highly secured prison facility, the home to Indians, a station for the Civil War and now a tourist attraction. I want to learn what happened to the rest of the prisoners after they shut down Alcatraz and how did the public react. A new fact I learned is it was used for the Civil War to defend against the Confederates.]]> 2023-04-26 19:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569264123 acarriedo2 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569264269 Alcatraz beholds a lot of lore regarding its deep history and only being known for being a giant state prison in the 1900s. The thing that made me interested in Alcatraz was the fact before it was made into a prison, Alcatraz was a fort that was very useful during the Civil War when invasions took place giving it the most reliable fort in the US at the time. The jail aspect also holds a lot of story because it was once named a jail that you couldn't escape because of high security and other obstacles that came along with escaping. What i want to learn about this island is what other significance did it hold besides being an unescapable jail. One new fact I learned while reading articles was that the jail held famous gangster 'Machine Gun' Kelly.]]> 2023-04-26 19:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569264269 mlopez1182 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569264622 Alcatraz Island is something you always hear about when you were younger.

I want to learn more about how the Native Americans came to the island, and how they wanted to use that island as a way to advocate for their rights. One new fact I learned was that this island was used to send the worst criminals in the states to, like Al capon. ]]> 2023-04-26 19:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569265875 aseide2 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569267282 Alcatraz is so interesting because it is really mysterious.

I get fascinated with psychology and I can't imagine the mental hellhole that they suffered through as if it was nothing.  I'd really like to learn how life was like on the rock, how the prisoners lived their lives in isolation, and just how impossible it is to escape. One new fact that I learned is that the prison was named after one of it's most notorious prisoners. ]]> 2023-04-26 19:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569268089 oalmaguer1 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/gbv7ith7x6zazj2w/wish/2569268508 Alcatraz has a fantastic history because of what the island was used for it belonged to the Native Americans and then became a military base.
