12 OCTOBER 1933 - ARMY TRANSFERRED ALCATRAZ ISLAND TO DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE The U.S. Army first considered placing a military installation on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay after U.S. victory in the Mexican War brought California under American control in 1848. This culminated in 1858 with the completion of Fort Alcatraz, a harbor defense fort with eleven artillery pieces mounted in barbette positions and a garrison of 200 soldiers. During the American Civil War, the fort's armament increased to 85 guns in 1861, and by 1868 the post mounted 105 guns in a combination of barbette and casemate batteries; at that time the harbor fort also became the location of the San Francisco Arsenal. Attempts to improve the installation as a seacoast fortification were halted as improvements in weapons technology rendered it obsolete. However, the Army also established a small military confinement facility there, and the post's mission in that role increased until 1907 when it was officially designated the Western U.S. Military Prison, and in 1915 the Pacific Branch, U.S. Disciplinary Barracks. The Army deactivated the installation in 1933 for transfer to the Department of Justice for use as a federal penitentiary, which opened the following year. DID YOU KNOW - The military prison housed civilian prisoners in the wake of the San Francisco earthquake and fire in 1906. - The guns of Fortress Alcatraz were never fired "in anger" during its history as a seacoast artillery installation. #Armyhistory #USArmy #TRADOC #MilitaryHistory #Alcatraz #AlcatrazIsland #CriminalJustice #DOJ #Fortress @TRADOC @USArmy Posted @withrepost • @armyhistory (at Columbia, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjnaZliOpI_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Throwback to last week when I got thrown into the slammer with @cherrycrimepedia @morgancrimepedia @drsohomdas & @conmunitypodcast at @alcotraz We were tasked with trying to get our parole approved… we all failed apart from Sohom.
