The Escape from Alcatraz Prison
Manage episode 356500435 series 2527701
Locked cells, surrounded by an impenetrable concrete fortress, surrounded by high barbed wire fences, surrounded by water, on an island in San Francisco Bay. Alcatraz was considered the most 'inescapable' prison in the world. The worst of the worst were sent there. So how, in 1962, did four ragtag criminals manage to escape? Using paper maché and a piano accordion? Frank Morris, John and Clarence Anglin and Allen West went down in history for achieving the impossible: escaping from Alcatraz. So how did they do it? And where did they end up?
We give you just the gist, but if you want more, there's this:
READ the book Escape From Alcatraz (just be aware it’s mostly a comprehensive history of the prison, and it goes into detail about some of the atrocities) https://www.penguin.com.au/books/escape-from-alcatraz-9781580086783
WATCH the movie 'Escape From Alcatraz' based on that book, starring a smoking hot Clint Eastwood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6ZJN7OhhhA
READ the FBI's summary of the escape, and see their photos from the scene https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/alcatraz-escape
WATCH this documentary 'The True Story of the Escape from Alcatraz' to get a good image of the prison and the cells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ycg05hh9Zc
