This place is REALLY creepy. Definitely worth the trip if you like this sort of thing. This structure is amazing and the history behind it is fascinating. I spent three hours touring the facility, photographing every corner that I had access to and walked away with a feeling of doom for those who were imprisoned there.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Wonder what percentage of the residents were actually penitent? Dentist chair or barber chair? Spooky. Good shots of a somber subject.

Death penalty seems almost preferable!

Loved the chair. I was there a couple of years ago and missed that.

Very nice photo

Well done. They should offer overnight ghost-watch sessions.....

Awesome shots. We did Alcatraz a few years ago. Just too many people in the way of shooting. You have captured the sense of eternity in hell. Well done.

I would say about the same chances as winning the lottery

Agree. I managed to lag behind at times at Alcatraz to get some shots but I wish I could tour it alone.
