The Great Escape: The True Story of Three Alcatraz Inmates

The Great Escape: The True Story of Three Alcatraz Inmates

Though the prison has been closed for decades, Alcatraz has earned its place in infamy. In its heyday, “The Rock” was considered impenetrable. At least 36 prisoners attempted to escape the island – all were captured, shot, or swallowed by the sea. All of that changed one fateful day in June 1962, when a group of three men plunged into the San Francisco Bay in hopes of finding freedom. For years, their fates were unknown – most speculated that the prisoners had drowned in the tumultuous waters. But, 51 years after the fact, the discovery of a mysterious letter forced the FBI to re-evaluate their presumptions about the daring escape artists of Alcatraz. #crimehub #truecrime Learn more about your ad choices.
