1934 · Alcatraz Island Becomes Federal Penitentiary

Age 1

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

English and German: from a vernacular form of the Late Latin personal name Dominicus, from Latin dominicus ‘of the Lord’, an adjectival derivative of dominus ‘lord, master’. This was borne by a Spanish saint (1170–1221) who founded the Dominican order of friars and whose fame added greatly to the popularity of the name (Domingo in Spanish), already established because of its symbolic value. In medieval England it may have been used as a personal name for a child born on a Sunday, though as an English surname it is comparatively rare. In North America, the English form of the surname has absorbed cognates from other languages, especially Italian Domenico (see also 2 below). See also Domingo , compare Dominic .

Americanized form of German, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Slovenian, and Croatian Dominik and of Croatian Dominić (see Dominic ).
