Alcatraz: The Legendary Prison :: Descriptive Essay About A Place

Alcatraz The Legendary prison We stepped send off the large tour boat with a look of awe in both our eyes. Some joy was there, but knowing what went on in this place made us feel the way we did. To me, Alcatraz didnt rightfully look like a shut piling prison at that moment. It looked more like an old worn down cemetery. The paint on most of the buildings was chipped off all the way down to the wood. Most of the buildings had collapsed down to some cement foundations and old rusted poles hanging every another(prenominal) way. As we walked to the building where you start your tour, that was probably the only building at this place with cleanliness to it. They gave us our tour headphones, which take you through the whole prison with a audio guide telling you how it was in the prison. Not well(p) how it was for the prisoners, but how it was for the defends too. The first place our sound guide took us to was the guard towers. They were about fifty feet tall and held passable ro om for maybe dickens guards. The towers looked too old for anybody to get into these days, but they had a view of a good portion of that side of the prison and a good branch of the ocean. There were towers stationed the entire way around the prison with maybe c yards in between them. The towers were protected with bulletproof glass 360 degrees round. After reckon the towers Sean and I wanted to go see the prison stalls. So we dark off our guide tapes for awhile and started heading up to the prison house. everyplace Sean and I looked, it seemed like the entire place was just eroded. Some places were fenced off because they were not safe enough for spectators like ourselves to get close enough to look at.We finally got to the prison cells after following a foresighted cement path that would take you anywhere at Alcatraz. The path roughly looked like a road, or some type of path they utilise for some type of transportation. Anyways, we went inside to explore how creepy the pri son cells were in reality going to be. Well yep, they were just as we thought. Just glancing at them gave me eldritch feelings in my stomach. The first thing I did was got in a cell and told Sean to take a picture.
