For the new book Hidden Alcatraz: The Fortress Revealed (University of California Press), edited by photographer Steve Fritz and Deborah Roundtree, creative director and principal of Roundtree Visuals, more than 30 photographers (including Fritz, Roundtree, Michael Venera, and Ross Campbell) gained unprecedented access to the former prison to capture its deteriorating beauty.
