3.Escape from Alcatraz

The federal penitentiary located on the island of Alcatraz which is situated in San Francisco Bay is given credit for being the most inescapable prison in America. People who attempted to get out ended up caught or in great danger. Though three convicts who were sentenced due to robbing banks, John Anglin, Frank Morris, and Clarence Anglin managed to find a way out of Alcatraz back in 1962.

They dug through the light using utensils and used a raft as a sailboat that was crafted out of raincoats. The three men’s bodies were never recovered. Nobody knew for sure if they were able to successfully escape alive. The story turned into something weird when an escapee’s letter allegedly surfaced in recent years. This story was made into a film in 1979, directed by Don Siegel, called Escape from Alcatraz.
