Alcatraz was a high-security prison associated with some high profile escape attempts, though no successful escapes have been confirmed. I suspect the creators of this package manager were trying to link the tech terms ‘walled garden’ and ‘jailbreak’ to real life penitentiaries. If so, I think ‘Shawshank’ would have been a better name, because it’s a fictitious prison and the story has a happy ending.

Shawshank sounds like an awesome name; Alcatraz was just the first one that came to my mind.
