The prison was also made famous by the 1962 film, Birdman of Alcatraz, starring Burt Lancaster, about the convicted murderer Robert Stroud, who while serving a life sentence on the prison island developed an interest in birds and went on to become an expert ornithologist.

Julie Sarahs launched a pop-up branch, called Stroud Community Costumes, which allows students to borrow dresses, suits, shoes and bags for a non-compulsory donation.
