Episode description
We've been traveling, we've been to prison, that’s right: it’s Alcatraz time. Join us as we unpack the infamous island’s dramatic history. From its days as a military fort to becoming the country’s most notorious federal prison. We talk famous prisoners like Al Capone and Machine Gun Kelly (no, not that one), escape attempts, and what life was really like on the OG scary island.
Created and produced by Claire Donald and Tess Bellomo
