Monday's Riddle: An Island At Large...


Hello, Riddlers! Can you guess our theme? I would love to visit, but that's about it. ; ) ~ F

I'm an island in a bay, but not a place you'd want to stay. Surrounded by sharks, the water's deep; the shores are sharp, and the men don't sleep. A visit puts you in a cell, it's less like vacation and more like hell. Built to house those deemed bad, my walls have turned some men mad. There's no escape once you're here; I'm the rock they all fear. Hosting criminals was my charge, when kept with me they were not at large.

What am I?

I gave you a clue!

CLUE!

    I think it's Alcatraz...I toured the island off San Francisco years ago and it's spooky to say the least.

    It's Alcatraz...from the Clint Eastwood movie?

    I vote for Alcatraz too. Though I suspect it is true of any island prison.

    Yep, definitely Alcatraz. I think I would have figured it out even without the photo of Al Capone! Great riddle.

    I'm thinking Alcatraz. My husband was going to go when he was in San Francisco but he missed the last boat.
