4. You may have heard of a little place called Alcatraz, but how much do you really know about it? Know as “the Rock,” Alcatraz is situated in the chilly waters of California’s San Francisco Bay and was America’s premier maximum-security prison from 1934 to 1963. Now a popular tourist attraction, Alcatraz once housed some of America’s most dangerous felons including gangster Al “Scarface” Capone. Good thing it was known as the prison no one could break out of.
