Alcatraz Island (/ˈælkəˌtræz/) is located in San Francisco Bay, 1.25 miles (2.01 km) offshore from San Francisco, California, United States.The small island was developed with facilities for a lighthouse, a military fortification, a military prison, and a federal prison from 1934 until 21 March 1963.[4] Beginning in November 1969, the island was occupied for more than 19 months by a group of Native Americans from San Francisco, who were part of a wave of Native American activism across the U.S., with public protests through the 1970s. In 1972, Alcatraz became part of a national recreation area and received designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1986.

Im fairly new here, and I cant get enough of your videos. THANK YOU for taking us along on your adventures. It helps out a lot for us who work too much or simply cant afford to see these places, and to be able to see these places through you. You should be on TV, you are hilarious. 😂 Thanks for all you do ✌

[@angelaw.325]

That hike to the cell house was brutal!

[@italiangirlsrule]

This was one of my favorite sites to visit with you, Scott! I absolutely love everything you showed, and you pointed out like the “Fashion Crime” reporting…lol That was just too funny!! Your interview with Jolene was such a treat! I can’t believe all the times I’ve been to San Fran I never went to Alcatraz. After seeing this, I’m definitely going to go back to see it. Thanks Scott. Great tour!

[@alexanderpatrick4866]

This is one of your best videos! I can't believe Capone's cell was not on the tour... Absolutely hilarious by the way. Thanks again Scott. I say the same thing all the time but it's always the truth... I'm so glad you get to take us all the places that some of us may never get to. See you later!

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Haha thanks Alexander it was a hard one to film with all the noise around me but I finally put it together. So weird they don’t put his cell on the tour

[@teresagwyn2863]

yes!

[@bodybuilderdoug]

Al Capone was not in just one cell..he was in many..

[@lowesjohnson48fan]

I love your videos man! You and Adam the Woo are both so informative about the locations you go to and both provide a vibrance fun. So glad I found your channel over a year ago now. Keep up the good work!

[@karenbavington1870]

Alcatraz. Wow. Hi Scotty. Went with you under your wing as I knew I couldn’t do all that walking up to the prison. Awesome video. Been looking forward to this video and I am sure Sean is going to be excited too. One of the places he would love to visit and examine every nook and cranny. It is really strange that they did not give Al Capone’s cell much importance. Your interview with the former resident Joelene was really nice. It added to the reality of the place. Seen the movie a long time ago but to see the cells and everything else with you was so cool. Of course Fashion Crime and your singing was hilarious. Nice game for us to play when we are on some trip. Like the game the kids play called Spotto. Car spotting fun while we are travelling in our car on a long boring journey. Till the next one. Lots of love to you from the gang Downunder. Waiting for a video of Shady the cutie. Take care. ❤️✌🏼💕

[@charlenefreeman18]

Thanks for sharing! I have not been able to be there to tour Alcatraz in person so thanks so much! Your call on the "Fashion Crime" was hilarious! I love it!

[@sherrywoody6023]

I'm excited you did this video. I always wondered what this prison looked like. You always take me to places I wouldn't ever get to see. Awesome as always. Be safe Peace and love🙏❤

I’ve been there for the tour too! The best audio tour experience I ever had. San Fran is beautiful.

[@gypsymoontarotofficial]

Beyond that "Authorized Personnel Only" sign (cuz my Sister chose to go beyond that sign and our family is a bunch of rebels lol) is a Medical Exam room. She said it was creepy and it looked like a morgue with a metal table and weird torture looking instruments in the room, but you showed where the Morgue was so guess it was used for just Med exams. MY other Sister n I chose to run to the shower when she chose to hop the sign cuz we didn"t want to be in trouble/caught for what she did lol Anyhow, we were the only 2 in the shower area and heard a sort of mean stomping of boots walking towards us but no one was there, needless to say we both ran outta there in a hurry to find my other sister (the one who went past the sign). I greatly enjoy your vids they are VERY entertaining and informative. You have an awesome presence/personality

[@joewichman4733]

Love your videos Scott!....have been watching them for a year now and reckon they are awesome keep doing what you do my friend

I loved the Alcatraz tour when I visited a year ago. Amazing views!! Your video is awesome, very enjoyable.

[@breeophel3883]

always so funny Scott! and absolutely loved the former guards daughter , how great!

[@beccafulmer]

Scott-I have been looking forward to your video on Alcatraz and as always you did not disappoint! You had me lmao! And I agree-Capone's cell would be #1 on my list of things to see! And the Richard Grieco comment made me laugh out loud! Thanks for cheering me up with your video on what was a crappy day sweetie! 💜

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Do you want to know the strangest thing Becca? I literally , seriously, put that Richard Grieco on screen title for YOU. I swear. Just as I finished editing I skimmed through it to make sure it was done and I saw that shot of the mannequin prison guard and I thought hmm that needs something else in that shot to describe it. And THEN I thought fuck that , it’s a prison guard anyone would know that lol. THEN I thought who does it look like and all I could think of was like Harrison Ford or someone but that’s not amusing. Then Richard Grieco popped into my head and I thought no one will even know who that is. THEN I though well Becca of course will. So I put it in. That’s how my creative process works lol. Try to make only one person laugh 😂 . Glad you liked it and I hope your day gets better sweetheart!

[@beccafulmer]

@@SCOTTONTAPE Thank you sweetie-that made my day!Kaylee thought I had finally lost my damn mind when it popped up on the video and I just started laughing my ass off! I loved Richard Grieco when I was a teenager lol. I broke my foot the day before yesterday so I'm stuck in the house and pissy but your video made me feel better!! Love and hugs Scott!!!

[@jaclynlantis4732]

In my area here in west Michigan Al Capone had a house on a lake my family lived on, rumor has it from locals there are underground tunnels for him to escape in numerous directions. Locals told us stories of his men, black cars and guarding it with machine guns 🫢 I was always fascinated by that house called the crows nest…another home was in Battle Creek now an old golf course. The owner told us stories…eeerie lands

[@zoricadebeer4601]

Like always, a great video, your so funny Scott. I've always been fasinated with the stories about Capone and the mobb. I've just discovered a channel if you haven't already discovered it, it's Michael Fransezes channel, the surname might ring a bell from the 80s. He has fasinating stories and amazing interviews on everything mob related.

[@zipshed]

Hey Scott this was great...I really enjoyed this vlog! The fashon crime bits were awesome I lmao!!! Great job man! Jolene is also my wifes name...not too many of them out there. Be safe and thanks!

[@OnTheGoWithFlo-Kid22]

This was great Scott. It's so weird because I was thinking about Alcatraz just the other day, and then today this video came up as a suggestion. I feel like these computers can read my mind sometimes. Can you even imagine having to live like this? I'd rather be dead. Talking to that very sweet and informative lady was so cool. How nice of her to give you all of that wonderful information. I never thought to realize that the guards' families would also be living there. For me as a teenager, I don't think that would really be a very fun life. Doesn't seem like there would be much to do other than watching those movies and fishing lol. I really want to go here one day., even If for nothing else but to make me feel even more grateful for everything I have, especially my freedom. I just loved this video Scott!

[@dianebays5484]

I love this. I've been there twice, its cool. I especially liked seeing Al Capones cell. After seeing Clint Eastwood in the movie, I loved seeing those cells of the guys who escaped. You're right about a lot of walk there. It was also cold and wind blowing and I was freezing. Thanks, Scott. Great video as usual. That grade walking up is just enough to tire one out bad! Yes, the worst of the worst. By the way, Scott, have you done a trip to Carmel California. ???

[@albertam3715]

Such creative video you’ve on this channel and I never been there before and that interesting stuff and story and somehow I end up here every single day and I haven’t watch it and now I’m watching it and you did amazing job 👍👍❤️❤️

When I visited SF as a kid, all we could do was sail around the Rock; it had been closed for years. I remember being really bummed and thinking it was a waste and a shame it wasn’t reopened for tourism… so thanks for sharing. Btw, we made the mistake of thinking California = warm, so we froze our butts off cruising SF bay!

[@sharonanne6293]

Scott my lifelong friend Garry has been to Alcatraz. He said it was amazing to walk round the cells and see the infamous prison. Didn’t Al Capone go abit crazy there? Would really like to know what happened to the Anglin brothers as they was never found. So many speculations on what happened there but I’d like to know the truth lol. Fab video yet again Scott. Loved it. Stay safe xx. Lmao at denim hat lol x

[@Tricey.89]

Al had untreated syphilis that messed with his brain, they said he still would fight but he was somewhat like a an elderly with dementia, the anglin brothers bodies were never found but no one has reported seeing them on land either

[@maryellenshock]

Didn't Capone die in his house in Florida? Living in Michigan, a lot of people knew about the "crows nest" and the tunnels.

[@vickyedwards3629]

Hi Scott, very interesting vlog. Would love to visit here at some point. Would love to spend the night in Capones cell to see if he really haunts the place like they say!!! Creepy place!!! Stay safe. X

Thanks Scott, great video 👌

[@caveman3021]

Interesting video Scott! There was some talk about 10 years back of turning this site into a hotel, but then you heard nothing... FYI- Alvin"Creepy"Karpas was a member of Ma Barkers bank heist gang (Boney M made a song) He held the distinction of being arrested by J.Edgar Hoover himself It has also been said that he was the one who taught Charles Manson how to play the guitar during their time together in San Quentin. He was deported to Canada after being paroled in 69, then moved on to Spain where he died in the 70s. Thanks for the entertainment as always. We love your work! : )

Great video as always scott I have been fortunate to have been there twice so far and never disappoints the place absolutely fascinates me and it helps one of my favourite films the Rock was filmed there 👌👍

[@LaraFabans]

When I was in 5th grade, we went there. That was when they had rangers acting as tour guides and my group got shut up in the D block solitary, and it was dark!! My Dad, beloved jokester that he was, put his hands around my neck and I said "DAD!" and some people whispered "oh the poor girl is scared..." Hrmph. At least I think those were my Dad's hands.... I visited recently for my birthday with some friends, and wow, yes, there is a LOT of walking. I loved seeing it again as an adult. I don't know about you but I definitely felt something when I was in the D block where the riot took place. And Alcatraz Prison couldn't survive Alcatraz. The salt air is unforgiving.
