Sinop Prison, better known by the nickname Alcatraz, Alcatraz, an island off the coast of San Francisco, was for a while famous as a prison where it imprisoned Americas most serious crimes. Surrounded by cold bay waters and an abundance of sharks with intense currents, the island has turned into one of the most difficult prisons to escape from. Sinop Historical Prison has been defined as such a fearsome prison as Alcatraz, a large and frightening fortress. There are 300 iron gates. Sinop Prison is located within the walls of the historic castle surrounded by the sea on three sides. The castle, which houses the prison, was built about 4 thousand years ago by the rulers of the region, Jaskallar. The building, which was converted into an official dungeon in 1887, was added to another building in 1939 for use as a childrens prison. The prison closed and turned into a museum. In 1999, Behind Bars was filmed, a series that had a great impact on the world of television for a period of time.
