HISTORICAL NOTE

Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, 'The Rock,' was designed to be the final stop for America's most unmanageable inmates from 1934 to 1963. Every piece of hardware on the island—from cell keys to adjustable restraints—was built to extreme industrial standards to prevent escape from the treacherous waters of the San Francisco Bay. This piece mirrors the heavy-duty hardware used to secure legends like Al Capone and 'Birdman' Robert Stroud.
