The first prisoner to arrive at Alcatraz was Frank Lucas Bolt, a queer man who was convicted of robbery and sodomy. He was given the prisoner number 1. The other 136 prisoners were a mix of dangerous criminals, including Al Capone, Robert Stroud (the Birdman of Alcatraz), George "Machine Gun" Kelly, Bumpy Johnson, and Rafael Cancel Miranda.
Alcatraz was designed to be a maximum security prison that would be escape-proof. It was located on a small island in the middle of San Francisco Bay, making it difficult for prisoners to escape by land or sea. The prison also had a number of security measures in place, such as high walls, barbed wire, and armed guards.
