Alcatraz: from Prison to Peace Centre?

Alcatraz was probably America's most famous prison. Its convicts included the notorious gangster Al Capone. Now, the island of Alcatraz is a national park, but the Global Peace Foundation is trying to change the old prison into a Peace Centre. However, many people think that Alcatraz is too important in American history to destroy.

Alcatraz was a prison for 29 years. When it opened, people said that it was impossible to escape from. There were 14 escape attempts, but most of the criminals that ran away did not survive. In 1962, three prisoners escaped through a tunnel. They were wearing their blue prison uniforms, and they made a small boat to cross the water. Alcatraz is only one mile from San Francisco, but the water is very cold and there are sharks. Did the prisoners escape? Nobody knows. They simply disappeared.

The following year, the prison closed. Native Americans went to live on the island, and they stayed there for two years. Now, Native Americans sometimes celebrate special days on the island of Alcatraz, including Thanksgiving. But most people will always remember Alcatraz as America's most high-security prison.
