What island located in San Francisco Bay is known for the former prison located there? Correct Answer Alcatraz Island

Alcatraz Island is a rocky island in San Francisco Bay, California, U.S., occupying an area of 22 acres (9 hectares) 1.5 miles (2 km) offshore. The island had little vegetation and was a seabird habitat when Lieutenant Juan Manuel de Ayala, who named it Isla de los Alcatraces (“Isle of the Pelicans”), explored it in 1775. In 1907 the island was designated the Pacific Branch of the United States Military Prison. From 1934 to 1963 it served as a federal prison for the most dangerous civilian prisoners.
