11 - Al Capone
Al Capone doesn’t need an introduction. You know who this is. Legendary gangster and mafia boss Al Capone entered Alcatraz just 10 days after it opened! He made millions of dollars selling illegal liquor at the time, and police weren’t able to catch him doing any crimes….except for one.

10 - Mickey Cohen
Meyer Harris “Mickey” Cohen actually was first training to be a professional boxer instead of a career criminal. He started by boxing in illegal boxing matches in Los Angeles. His first professional boxing match was on April 8, 1930, against Patsy Farr in Cleveland. His last fight was on May 14, 1933, against Baby Arizmendi in Tijuana, Mexico. And that’s when he started his life of crime in Chicago.

9 - Robert Stroud
Maybe the most famous of all Alcatraz inmates is Robert Stroud, who was nicknamed the Birdman of Alcatraz. WHY was he nicknamed Birdman? Well, the answer is really straightforward. He became an ornithologist in prison because he started studying birds after being put in solitary confinement! There was even a movie loosely based on his life called “Birdman of Alcatraz”

8 - Frank Morris
Frank Morris was arguably the mastermind behind the most famous escape attempt from Alcatraz! Morris had a long history of being in and out of jail. He was abandoned by his parents as a kid so he grew up in foster homes. He was convicted of his first crime at age 13, and by his late teens, he had already been arrested for armed robbery! However, it was his intelligence that made him stand out.

7 - The Anglin Brothers
John and Clarence Anglin, OR better known as the Anglin brothers of THE famous escape attempt, were born into a big family with thirteen children. Clarence was first caught breaking and entering when he was just 14 years old . By the early 1950s, John and Clarence began robbing banks and other businesses together as a team.

6 - Roy Gardner
Roy Gardner was once America's most infamous prison escapee! He was the most famous escaped convict during the Roaring Twenties. Alcatraz was rebuilt from a military prison to a general federal prison in order to deal with criminal escapees exactly like Roy Gardner.

5 - Alvin “Creepy” Karpis
Just like "Machine Gun" Kelly, Alvin Francis Karpis saw kidnapping as an easier way to make money. At that time, Kidnapping wasn’t a federal crime until after the kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh’s baby. It was just more lucrative and safer to kidnap rich people than robbing banks.

4 - Henry Young
Henry Young was one of the most infamous inmates to occupy a cell at Alcatraz. He caused nothing but trouble for the guards there and that’s what he wanted. For example, he had led a work strike and he consistently threw items at guards from his cell. He also attempted to escape Alcatraz with 4 other inmates in 1939!

3 - Arthur “Doc” Barker
Arthur Doc Barker was another member of the infamous Barker-Karpis gang, which was founded by his brother Fred Barker and Alvin “Creepy” Karpis, someone you just heard us talk about! Generally known as "Doc", Arthur was typically called on for the action, while Fred and Karpis were the brains of the gang's crimes.

2 - Machine Gun Kelly
Machine Gun Kelly was born George Kelly Barnes, Jr. But did you know that he attended college and he studied agriculture? Yeah, Kelly came from a good family and he started his life on the straight and narrow path. But his life quickly changed with a marriage.

1 - James “Whitey” Bulger
James “Whitey” Bulger is arguably the most famous Alcatraz inmate for today’s generation because of portrayals of him in recent Hollywood movies. Bulger began his career as a gang member in Boston in the early 1940s. Early in his criminal career, local police gave Bulger the nickname "Whitey" because of his blond hair.
