Alcatraz Prison Inmates: Life Behind Bars
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 апр 2022
- Alcatraz has a reputation as being one of the worst prisons to have ever existed! Find out what a prisoner's life was like once they were locked up on "The Rock". After watching it's not hard to see why so many prisoners attempted to escape by swimming back to the mainland, but that was almost surely a death sentence.

I visited Alcatraz 2 years ago. It’s much smaller than you think it is. There’s only one building which is the actual prison. I spent a few mins in the solitary confinement cells and it’s so dark I felt going a lil fidgety after 5 mins
555 I miss Thomasville give me well I do feel like it yay 0000yuuuu
What struck me is how you could see and hear all of the bustling city around you from the yard. That would have been a constant torture.
Oh And I also have a picture of me balled up in the solitary confinement cell😂
How? It is closed

Prisoners: Alcatraz is a whole nightmare
Al Capone: *First time?*
Mob of The Dead: *Say no more.*
I love all the crime videos you guys do always interesting to watch
January 2020 is when I went to Alcatraz. Flew my mom out to California for her 70th birthday and we also went to Lake Tahoe, Muir woods, Pier 39 for dinner overlooking San Francisco bay, Stitton beach, California state railroad museum in Sacramento and Yosemite national park. Plus she reconnected with two brothers and met 3 nieces and a great niece.
Is SF really as messed up as the news say it is?
@@wasilaify as far as the homelessness crisis, it's definitely a work in progress
@@wasilaify Its worse. Do not leave any valuables in your car. Ever. Streets are a sea of broken glass from smashed windows. Its visually appealing but has serious social issues, sort of like an open asylum.
I actually love Lake Tahoe.
Having done some time in our current prison situation a few years back, I personally would have probably enjoyed the silence. The one thing that drove me most nuts about prison was the loud idiotic noise.
Could you imagine how bad it would be if you couldn't talk for days and your alone? Lock yourself in your room without a phone, computer or other things inmates can't have just for an hour. It won't be the same because you know you can leave anytime or you can count down to an hour. It would be like being locked in there until someone says you can leave so you have no idea.
Don't cry too much for these sweet misunderstood darling little boys. They had to EARN their trip to Alcatraz. Or any other prison.
Sounds like bliss I've got 4 kids
They get a lot better then They deserve .
@elizabethcompton738 prisoners are also, in fact, human beings Elizabeth. They deserve empathy too
Glad to see you doing something other than WW3 scenarios
Love these vids keep them going 😁
putting ppl in solidarity should be a extreme measure
the inmates were terrible people💀
I love your videos pls keep making these!!
Alcatraz was considered shockingly cruel and inhumane in its day, and yet it sounds like a 5 star resort compared to California's prison system of the early 21st Century.
America’s*
Actually, no it wasn't. In fact, many inmates in the federal system requested transfer to Alcatraz because the living conditions were considered to be better. And it housed the "problem prisoners" from throughout the prison system, so don't feel too badly for them. They weren't boy scouts.
@Anthony's Asian Friend not everyone has a wife though
You clearly haven't went to prison
Back then most prisoners weren’t the thugs they tend to be today.
Imagine escaping from jail with the laundry only to get out and realize you escaped to another jail....
Sounds like an urban legend.
Alcatraz is like the death penalty without the execution
Keep the videos like this coming
This is crazy but keep up the good work with these videos🥳
Being related to the Anglin Brothers and listening to their story makes me happy knowing that they won't be forgotten and that they never got violent during their robberies
🧢
Love these vids
Awesome video. I like the animations mixed with the narrator.
Whenever I've driven by it while visiting San Francisco... it's just chilling thinking about the history
So I hate to do this but you got some info wrong. The silent system was developed in the 1820's at Auburn state as well as the Chain gang. It lead to prison reform
I'd rather be dead than get solitary confinement for life
Sicccccck love the vids bruh bruh
I heard they had at least really good food. The warden said that people that are well fed are people that are not combative and less likely to give someone problems. I don't remember where I saw it but you can look it up.
Edit; I posted this comment before I got to the part where you started talking about the food LOL
One of the most underrated educational channel ❤️
They have 11.7 million subs
i wouldnt say these guys are even close to being underrated
11.7m is underrated indeed

Morgan Freeman owes this guy big time for his "well-mannered prisoner with animal friends" character.
Basically the cruelest 5 star hotel
You forgot the Minus
Haha 😂😂
My father "escaped" from Alcatraz every year sans wetsuit. So do hundreds of others - all one needs is a bit of swimming experience. It's actually not a particularly hard swim. They used to tell prisoners the waters were shark infested (that's what "Tiburon" means), but there are no predators in the Bay. There are no white sharks in the Bay. And no, while some of the swimmers do wear wetsuits, you can't place if you wear one. Most swimmers don't.
I think it would be very cold for them to swim because they almost always swam during the night when the water would cool down.
Also, they werent really fed that well so they would have been weak.
@@heyysimone The water doesn't cool down at night any appreciable amount. It doesn't work like that with oceans and bodies as large as the SF bay (this is why pools feel warmer at night). Incidentally, the Escape from Alcatraz rough water swim takes place in the morning, before the sun has had a chance to hit the water. But it wouldn't matter anyway. Water temperatures don't change that fast. Your point about their physical health is a decent one. But the point is, it's not a hard swim for someone who swims regularly.
@@heyysimone Prisoners in the general population at Alcatraz were actually fed very well, so malnutrition probably wouldn't have been a factor.
I went to Alcatraz. It so crazy. And sorta horrifying. I couldn’t imagine staying there.
I remember learning the lunch room was the most dangerous because they were given spoons, forks and knives,
sure buddy
Please tune up the audio a little more i have my phone full blast and its a litlle bit low, love your knowledge btw
All I know about Alcatraz is that it had a looooot of zombies when I played it
Imagine having so many budget cuts that some of your rooms don’t have toilets and lots of prisoners were fed moldy bread and STILL not having enough money to keep it open
This was upload before. 🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ but still nice to see again
Wild time went definitely worth it shout out to Brandon at the Segway place there🤙🏼
The bay is always cold. That and there's friggin great white sharks in it. I grew up in southern CA and grew up on the beach but when I moved up north I tried to take a dip in the ocean but due to the temp and the big dam sign warning of Great Whites, I thought better of it.
Rumour has it 4 prisoners build a plane and escaped but crashed in the Golden Gate Bridge 👀
I think the fog actually makes it warmer in the air too then when it's clear.
whats crazy to me is they dont mention the fact that many prisoners were also being experimented on as well
I actually didn't know this, ill have to look into it, its amazing how much isn't told about the prison systems
Sounds like every foster home I have ever been in
I escaped Alcatraz by building a plane with a shirt that later crashed at pack a punch
The underground cave system is unbelievably frightening
You should make a video of Gitmo
"What did I tell you about talking?!"
"But it's Opposite Day!!!"
"...Carry on."
Did you know that Alcatraz means Pelican?
This background beat is banging 😂😂😂
"What made them so desperate and violent " idk maybe because they're in Alcatraz
*they're
Memories broken, the truth goes unspoken
I've even forgotten my name
I don't know the season or what is the reason
I'm standing here holding my blade
A desolate place (place)
Without any trace (trace)
It's only the cold wind I feel
It's me that I spite as I stand up and fight
The only thing I know for real
There will be blood (blood) shed (shed)
The man in the mirror nods his head
The only one (one) left (left)
Will ride upon the dragon's back
Because the mountains don't give back what they take
Oh no, there will be blood (blood) shed (shed)
It's the only thing I've ever known
Losing my identity
Wondering, "Have I gone insane?"
To find the truth in front of me I must climb this mountain range
Looking downward from this deadly height and never realizing why I fight
Can u do Burmese prison?
The Infographic Show!!🔥 I feel like Johnny number 5!!📓input📓 input💯🤯 I appreciate all the information the content 💯💣🤯 every time you post I be like 🍿🤳🍿 💻 I really learn from some of your videos so I saved them the to watch later
i feel thats the big factor. they had a makeshift raft. they did not swim the full way.
Over the years I have watched or read stories about Alcatraz. It is hard to tell how much is fact or fiction. But there is no denying it must have been a terrible place to be. What prison is a good place to stay?
Most of those that served time in Alcatraz lived a hard life before they got there. They were better conditioned for that environment than you or me. I am not sure I could have survived any length of time in there.
One thing I have read more than once is that Alcatraz used to serve its inmates some of the best meals available. This video alluded to it as well. The idea was a well fed man worked hard and was less aggressive. Hey, whatever works.
Do I think the Anglin brothers successfully made it to the main land? No. Not any more than I think DB Cooper survived his jump from the hijacked plane. Both stories have been full of death bed confessions and claims from friends and families; yet no one has offered rock solid proof that the Anglin brothers or Cooper survived their plots.
I’d a prison like this ever comes again, everyone ready your picket signs, cause it’s gonna be time for the protest of the century
I went on a tour back in 1970’s... I was too young to understand what the “big deal” was back then.
Do you have any idea of how prisons are in Brazil? Every prison in US should be consider a 5 start hotel in comparison.
Rafael-Actually in Canada not United States.
90% of inmates are white and all keep quiet really.
No AB,no Cribs,no Bloods,no Mexican gangs.
Man prison in Canada are 5 stars hotels compared to United States.
Believe me.
Who cares we literally didn't ask
this reminds me of lego city undercover tbh
I needed my fix
Just got back from binging their SCP channel and kept thinking they were doing to say D-class multiple times throughout the video
actually doesnt sound too bad, at least comparing to my own living conditions for the past couple of years :d
I knw alcatraz only from call of duty 😁🙌
The “silence at all times” rule is genius!!! 😱
We should do that here!! Think about it, it prevents prisoners from making plans to escape or to attack and they can’t threaten or extort other inmates.
Alcatraz should be how every prison in America is today. It was the perfect prison.
please be joking💀
@@actuallymyah i hope he is cause he trippin BAD
I agree in a way, if you murdered or assaulted or some other act of harm, you deserve the worst.
It never works in history. It definitely wouldn't today. Tell someone with odd not to talk tell me how that goes. Plus convicts will find a different way to communicate. You seriously can't be that nieve
Love the videos. Hate the background chatter which causes me to go on to someone else’s video.
10:23 Psst... FISH ....... the weird thing is Im having FISH for dinner....
me when i realize alcatraz prisoners ate better food than me
MMA /UFC fighter Nate Diaz has made that swim multiple times for fun and he's done it like it's no big deal. That alone shows how the Frank Morris and company could have easily made it successfuly. The families that have confirmed the jail break was successful and that they lived the rest of their lives laying low for the rest of their lives. I have a feeling that law enforcement officers tried to make it look like they actually did attempt to find them tirelessly so they can say that they didn't survive so that they could continue to say that there is no way that it was possible so that no other inmates would attempt to make a shot at trying to escape as well.
Shame they never responded to the alleged guy claiming to be one of the escapees, it'd be nice to have closure on that particular tale... :P
I would love to hear from a guard
The food was great the stuff that you get at a county diner.
This Brit STILL loves a prison topic here on The Infographics Show
- My favourite category!
Speaking of prison shows - Beyond scared Straight -
Yes they are also viewed outside the USA 🇺🇸 😁 👏
⛓️=🏢
I would truly love to hear a story about Boxing since I'm starting to hear more about Floyd Mayweather (Pretty Boy Floyd)
What if you put Shiratori in Alcatraz ?
I wanna know how they made paper mâché heads without access to flour and makeup.
Comments under The Birdman movie.
The birdman was a horrible human being. The movie glosses over that. And his birds never lived long because he didn't know what he was doing.
Watch " World's Toughest Prisons " of the one in Madagascar ..........
Sounds like a amazing model prison to me. Too soft on criminals nowadays.
Nice
No sympathy. They EARNED their "position" at Alcatraz. They didn't go there for jaywalking.
I agree.
*TRUE BUT* There SHOULD be some humane standards ‼️ ♑️✍️🇦🇺🇳🇴
Amen
I think honestly think that rehabilitation is not the point of justice, but Justice, meaning getting what one is due. These inmates were sent there as isolation from other prisons. The rough treatment was nowhere near cruel as sadistic punishment has existed in the past. I'm for the death penalty, but sometimes the unruly can't stay in full solitary, but Alcatraz is a good substitute.
@2:08 So who's British? The narrator or the writer?
1962:the guards awake to discover the truth,they quickly search the 6 mile perimeter.They find remains of a makeshift raft on the shore,they conduct many searches and theories Ultimately all 3 men presumed dead and are never found.
I wondered where all those theme parks got their ideas from 👍😭
Well the food is there sounds good.
When serial killers eat better than the average modern American citizens.
Stay on topic and be nice
Id like to see what modern day federal prison is.
Larry Lawton’s channel is a good one for more info on that topic. Jessica Kent’s too, if you wanna hear about women’s prison.
What’s up with the arms
Fun Fact: I am personally related to “the bird man” which was one of the prisoners
😮
?
2:54 why is one of their hands red? Is that a reference to anyone in particular?

I wonder what Alcatraz would be like if it was still opened to this day
It would probably be the same
Overcrowded
Chicago
I would not survive this place cause I’m constantly talking to anyone i even talk to myself
Y’all should spend some time in Long Kesh.
I'm with ya there, my man. The Brits invented concentration camps, Fact.
What I really hate about this is this isn't much if at all any better than POW'S we're treated in Germany or Japan rail lines minus the threat of death
We Indians have a proud EX INDIAN AIRFORCE OFFICER with the name of ALCATRAZ
Lol it felt familiar to me even tho it was my first time there
Hey im not late this time !
can someone send EDP445 here, to my knowledge there are no cupcakes there.
If I was there I would've loved the silence,silence is good
apparently the prisoners could hear the busy city all around them n stuff, probably was torture more than anything hearing life all around them while being locked up
do the crime gotta do the time tho!
Yh I take back what i said 🥶
This is better than the San Francisco jail I was in the new jail they have (not the one downtown) if anyone wants to know more just ask. Otherwise I could sit here and type all day.
Um. I always thought dinner was supper ...🙄🤔
How do tests those instant tests work like the one for Covid? Just curious
Fun Fact:
The california gas chamber is nicknamed "The Green Room" due to its apple green paint job.
That's in San Quentin Prison, not Alcatraz.
