who were the guys who escaped from alcatraz
What happened to the three men who escaped from Alcatraz? In June 1962, brothers Clarence and John Anglin and Frank Morris attempted to escape from the inescapable water-bound prison, Alcatraz, located on Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay on the coast of California.
December 16, 1962[edit] John Paul Scott and Darl Lee Parker were the last two prisoners to attempt to escape from Alcatraz. Scott and Parker used a makeshift saw to cut through the bars on a kitchen window in the cell house, then ran to the edge of the island and jumped into the water.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In its 29 years of operation, there were 14 acknowledged attempts to escape from Alcatraz prison involving 34 inmates (two, Joseph Cretzer and Sam Shockley, tried twice). Officially, every escape attempt failed, and most participants were either killed or quickly re-captured.
