Al Capone was always evasive from the police. They could never prove any of his illegal acts. The police, out of frustration, raided his speakeasies, whorehouses, and gambling parlors.

Since the police, surprisingly could not prove Capone's illegal acts, they caught him for tax evasion. Capone was sentenced on October 17, 1931. In 1934, he was moved from a prison in Atlanta, to Alcatraz in San Francisco. Although he only stayed in prison for six years, afterwords, Capone slowly died at the age of 48.
