Officially, no escape from Alcatraz was ever confirmed as successful. But in 1962, three inmates—Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin—vanished into the bay. Their bodies were never found, and their fate remains one of America’s most enduring mysteries.
The escapees dug through vent holes in their cells, created fake heads to fool guards, and climbed through service tunnels. Using a makeshift raft crafted from raincoats, they disappeared into the frigid waters of San Francisco Bay.
Alcatraz was designed to be escape-proof, surrounded by icy, shark-infested waters and heavily guarded. But the 1962 escape proved that even “The Rock” had vulnerabilities.
Alcatraz closed in 1963 due to rising maintenance costs and deteriorating infrastructure. It was more expensive to run than other prisons and had.
