Thousands of people visit Alcatraz every year, and many more wish they could (tickets in summer are known to book out almost 2 months in advance!) A prison on an island is the type of stuff movies are made out of, and Alcatraz is no exception. The biggest difference being that the real prison came first, then the movies. Whether you have seen Escape from Alcatraz or The Rock already, or have no idea about this place at all, come join us for a free talk at our beautiful main library on the wild, dangerous, and unbelievable history of San Francisco’s most notorious prison. Meet Eri at the hostel at 5:30pm to head to the library.
