The disease had been untreated for so long that it began to severely impact his neurological function. In an attempt to manage these complications, Capone was transferred to the newly opened Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary in August , where he became inmate number Alcatraz was deemed escape-proof, and the conditions were extremely tough. Isolated from the extensive support network that he had enjoyed on the outside, Capone's physical and mental health continued to deteriorate. The severe syphilitic infection led to the decline of his mental faculties, and he showed signs of confusion and disorientati
