Join us as we reveal the secrets of the United States Penitentiary, Alcatraz Island, also known as Alcatraz or simply, The Rock, which was a maximum-security federal prison on Alcatraz Island, 1.25 miles off the coast of San Francisco, California.
We take a look at famous inmates, including the Birdman of Alcatraz and two of the most famous prison escape attempts: The Battle of Alcatraz and the 1962 escape of 3 unrecovered inmates.
We overturn every lead we can find to determine if it was possible for 3 inmates would pull off what would be the most ingenious prison break of all time – if it was successful. Did Frank Morris, and brothers John and Clarence Anglin make it to freedom of did they drown in the frigid waters of the San Francisco Bay?
