1934 · Alcatraz Island Becomes Federal Penitentiary

Age 23

Alcatraz Island officially became Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary on August 11, 1934. The island is situated in the middle of frigid water and strong currents of the San Francisco Bay, which deemed it virtually inescapable. Alcatraz became known as the toughest prison in America and was seen as a “last resort prison.” Therefore, Alcatraz housed some of America’s most notorious prisoners such as Al Capone and Robert Franklin Stroud. Due to the exorbitant cost of running the prison, and the deterioration of the buildings due to salt spray, Alcatraz Island closed as a penitentiary on March 21, 1963. 

Name Meaning

Modern use of this as both a boy's and a girl's name derives from a transferred use of an English surname, from the Norman female name Aveline , an elaborated form of Ava . At present it is used more frequently as a girl's name, and is also found as a variant Anglicization of Irish Éibhleann or Aibhilín ( see also Evlin ).
