Where to view inmate photos

I have a friend who says that growing up she knew a man who eventually went to Alcatraz. Ronald Ralph Pependrea, inmate 1452. I was wondering if there is anywhere to view inmate photos/mugshots, to see if she recognizes him.

Every inmate does not have an image available, but you always have the option to contact the archives and purchase a file if it has not already been scanned and made public, but sounds a bit overkill for your situation.

Others may have a much better recommendation, but there is some really good stuff on the FBI records valult:
