(The end of the line for America's most notorious gangster...)
The end of the line for America's most notorious gangsters, a public symbol of the ultimate confinement, America's version of Devil's Island. The rapid growth of the gangster era during the 1920s and 1930s put tremendous pressure upon law enforcement agencies to exert control over this alarming threat. Part of the establishment's answer to this growing problem was the creation of Alcatraz Prison, an end-of-the-line confinement facility. Complete with 900 illustrations, sketches and maps, it presents a comprehensive visual record of the history of a priceless California landmark.
