Good question Bam. I don't know the year it closed down but it's been a while. I know Al Capone was there (probably the most famous person) and can't think of his name, but the guy Clint Eastwood played in Escape from Alcatraz which is a true story if I'm not mistaken. That would have been years after Capone.

I'll see if I can find out famous names. It would be interesting to know.
