The cellhouse was constructed in 1912, and visiting this dreary monolith today is a step into another world. The cellhouse has four different prison blocks and a hospital wing, and trapped many famous criminals during the early 20th century. Be sure to take the tour when you visit!

If you are in San Francisco, you should definitely visit Alcatraz and the associated cell house. Great insight into the former penitentiary
