In this episode, we’ll be exploring one of the most notorious prison escapes in American history, the June 1962 Alcatraz Escape. Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, located on a rocky island off the coast of San Francisco, was considered to be one of the most secure prisons in the world, housing some of the most dangerous criminals of the time. We’ll delve into the events surrounding the Alcatraz escape, including the planning and execution of the escape itself, as well as the aftermath and investigation. We’ll examine the methods used by the escapees, including their intricate plan to dig out of their cells and create lifelike dummy heads to fool the guards during their escape.

We’ll also explore the backgrounds and motivations of the three escapees, Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin, and how their criminal histories and personal experiences led them to attempt such a daring escape. Join us as we uncover the fascinating story of the Alcatraz Escape, a tale of ingenuity, daring, and perseverance that continues to captivate audiences more than half a century later.
