Fog Rolls Down on Alcatraz

Gary Parker

San Jose Mercury News

Once one of the most formidable prisons in the country, Alcatraz, now stands abandoned as the fog rolls down off the mountains, creating an eerie, thought-provoking sight. One can't help but look at it and wonder what kinds of terrible atrocities were committed by its inhabitants both inside and outside of its fortress-like walls.
