    To this day, they don't know if they escaped or drowned in the ocean. No body has ever been recovered. It will probably be a mystery forever.

    I've always been so fascinated with this place. Last time I was there was in 6th grade in the mid-80s. I imagine the tours have changed quite a bit since then. I might be able to take my kids in a couple months. Has anyone been on the night tour? That one sounds like it would be pretty spooky and awesome.

    I built the props that are in the MGM cells today [those pictured with the dummy]. My boss made the dummy heads, and got the hair from his wife's hairdressing business. He was shown the actual escape artifacts at the FBI warehouse and photographed them from which I created the props. Besides the urban legend of just 'spoons' the cons made an electric drill from a vacuum cleaner motor. Which I recreated for our film shoot, America's Most Wanted version of the escape, made possible by Acme scenery co.

  • @elliotboucher4338

    The is a few things they didn't mention
    #1 it is believed that the inmates that escaped didnt use the raft to go all the way and stopped half way on got in a boat. There was reports that a police officer saw I boat in between land and Alcatraz Island
    #2 there were 4 men who came up with the plan but only 3 escaped because the other one had a bar in his whole... He was the guy who came up with the plan and built the raft -_-

    There were at least a dozen escape attempts from Alcatraz. Bank robbers Darl Parker and Paul Scott tried to swim to freedom,. Parker stopped at "Little Alcatraz and could go no further. He was recaptured. Scott swam for the skyline and made it to a point under the Golden Gate Bridge. He fell asleep and when he woke up he was surrounded by police. This was in 1962. It was possible to reach the mainland by swimming.

    Currents are strong in the bay. The current, when I visited, seemed to go out to sea, not towards land. If someone met them in a boat, they made it. If they didn't have a plan they probably didn't make it. In the back of my mind I have always hoped they made it.

    I wonder if when they were building the concrete walls in the cells that not realizing the salt water behind the walls where that empty corridor room was where the salt water was at making it easier to carve your way out of the wall. I liked escape from alcatraz 1979 with Clint Eastwood real good movie! Another goodie is shawshank redemption.

    Watch the movie Alcatraz when you have time. It's a great movie.
    My opinion is simply this, I don't know about any escapees, but Frank Morris DID make it. I'm 100% certain.
