Пересказать текст по английскому языку Alcatraz was probably America's most famous prison. Its convicts included the notorious
gangster Al Capone. Now, the island of
Alcatraz is a national park, but the Global
Peace Foundation is trying to change the old
prison into a Peace Centre. However, many
people think that Alcatraz is too important in
American history to destroy.
Alcatraz was a prison for 29 years. When it
opened, people said that it was impossible to
escape from. There were 14 escape attempts,
but most of the criminals that ran away did
not survive. In 1962, three prisoners escaped
through a tunnel. They were wearing their blue
prison uniforms, and they made a small boat to
cross the water. Alcatraz is only one mile from
San Francisco, but the water is very cold and
there are sharks. Did the prisoners escape?
Nobody knows. They simply disappeared.
The following year, the prison closed. Native
Americans went to live on the island, and
they stayed there for two years. Now, Native
Americans sometimes celebrate special
days on the island of Alcatraz, including
Thanksgiving. But most people will always
remember Alcatraz as America's most high-
security prison.​
