Yes, I did look at your link. I'm not saying the photo is paranormal in nature, I'm saying I find the explanation provided in your link to be a weak one, and quite unlikely.

How is the explanation weak? Many visitors to Alcatraz have seen this image on a poster on the wall in the visitors area, that makes it a rather strong explanation in my opinion and if the photo is not paranormal in nature, then it's clearly something else, either a real person in the visitors area, photographed through the glass, or it's a picture on the wall, photographed through the glass, I really can't see many other explanations.

a couple of reasons:
1) If it's a real person on the other side of the glass, then the witness is lying (they claim there was nobody else there). Also, the image looks black and white, and seems to be blurry and lacking color. Doesn't look like a solid person at all. It also appears to be a woman from the 30's or 40's judging by the hairstyle.
2) If it's a picture, the perspective is all wrong for it to be on the opposite side of the wall. Look at the bars that traverse the wall to the left (on the other side of the door). There is quite a bit of space between the glass/door in the foreground, and the far wall opposite the cell that the picture was taken in. There is no way that is a picture on the far wall. IF it's a picture, it would have to be right outside the window, placed there intentionally. That is certainly a possibility I remain open to, but there is no way it's on the far wall. The figure is too close to the cell door.

This is the only one I could find in your link, and none of them seem to match the woman in the original:
