Alcatraz was a military prison beginning with holding Confederate prisoners of war in 1861. By 1866, it was determined that its use as a defensive fort was obsolete and it became a full-time prison. It was transferred to the Department of Justice in 1933 and became a federal prison in 1934. It was at this point that it reached the height of its fame and notoriety.
