Alcatraz East

Alcatraz East is a privately owned for-profit crime museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

It was created and built by attorney John Morgan and chief operating officer Janine Vaccarello.

The historical area of the museum displays how crimes were committed, cases were solved, and how jury members came to an agreement on final sentencing.

A CSI lab, safe-cracking, a simulated shooting range, DUI interactive safety training, and digital fingerprinting are some of the activities visitors can participate in.

Artifacts on display include John Dillinger's Essex-Terraplane, Al Capone's rosary, Ted Bundy's Volkswagen Beetle and the Ford Bronco from the O. J. Simpson murder case, an FBI polygraph machine, Al Pacino's sub-machine gun from the movie Scarface, items related to the 2012 Benghazi attack, and the latest in law enforcement technology.
