Getting out in 2025

Alcatraz Island is a powerful symbol and a transformative national park experience—more than 1.4 million people visit each year to engage with its story, from incarceration to Indigenous resistance to ongoing conversations about justice and equity. See our fact sheet to learn about the power of Alcatraz.
