36 men have tried and 33 have failed. What happened to the 3 men who made it the farthest? Here’s the untold truth about the Alcatraz escape!
9 - Background on Alcatraz
The Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary was a maximum-security federal prison on Alcatraz Island, around one and a quarter miles off the coast of San Francisco. Given its high security and the island's location in the San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz was believed to be escape-proof and America's strongest prison. Alcatraz was used to hold prisoners who caused trouble at other federal prisons. It housed roughly fifteen hundred federal inmates, including some of America's most infamous criminals. Al Capone and George "Machine Gun" Kelly are some examples. The three-story cellhouse had four main cell blocks, A-block through D-block, right in the center. The warden's office and visitation room were on one end of the building. The dining hall and kitchen areas were on the other side, along with the exercise yard. The prison cells typically measured 9 feet by 5 feet and 7 feet high. Each prisoner had their own cell, but they were primitive and lacked privacy. They were only outfitted with the bare necessities. Prisoners followed a strict daily routine and their whereabouts were known at all times. To give you an idea of how closely they checked on prisoners, a total of 13 official counts were made every 24 hours! Escape seemed almost impossible! Despite the odds, from 1934 until the prison was closed in 1963, 36 men tried 14 separate escapes. Nearly all were caught or didn’t survive the attempt. However, the fate of three particular inmates remains a mystery to this day!
8 - The Escapees
Inmates Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin were the prisoners who attempted the infamous 1962 prison break out of Alcatraz! Frank Lee Morris was orphaned at age 11 and spent most of his childhood in foster homes. He was convicted of his first crime at age 13, and by his late teens he had been arrested for crimes such as armed robbery! However, even with his criminal past, Morris was in the 98th percentile in intelligence. Supposedly he had an IQ of 133. Genius level is considered 140 and above. Escaping from Alcatraz actually wasn’t his first escape! He escaped from the Louisiana State Penitentiary while serving time for bank robbery. He was caught again a year later sent to Alcatraz in January 1960. The Anglin brothers, John and Clarence, were born into a family of thirteen children in Georgia. The brothers began robbing banks and other businesses as a team in the early 1950s. They targeted places that were closed, to ensure that no one got injured. They claimed that they used a weapon only once, during a bank heist, with a toy gun. By the 1960s, both received sentences that brought them to Alcatraz. But how did the brothers and Frank Morris come together? They all had served time together at the United States Penitentiary in Atlanta! After repeated failed attempts to escape from the Atlanta facility, the brothers were transferred to Alcatraz. A fourth guy, Allen West, was also involved although he didn’t leave Alcatraz with the trio. West was serving his second term in Alcatraz. He knew John Anglin from prison time together in Florida. The escape plan started to take shape in December of 1961, beginning with a collection of several old saw blades that West allegedly found in one of the utility corridors while cleaning. And that’s why he was pulled into the escape. In later interviews, West would take credit for masterminding the whole thing!
7 - The Plan
While in Alcatraz, inmate Clarence Carnes became friends with Morris and told him about the access tunnel behind their cells. Morris used this information to develop the overall escape plan. They then all carefully planned the escape for eight months, leaving nothing to coincidence. Over the next six months, the men widened the ventilation ducts beneath their sinks using the saw blades discovered by West. They also used metal spoons smuggled in from the dining hall. Amazingly enough, they also made an electric drill improvised from the motor of a vacuum cleaner! They hid the noise of their work with the louder noise of Morris playing his accordion during music hour. That was in addition to all the noise of instruments during music hour! Yup, that’s right, Alcatraz had a music hour.
the comment section is smarter than the fbi searching them lmao.
🤣🤣🤣
chucky literally
That’s a lie
lol
Sounds right 😆. That's a good one.
I mean if they can plan this whole escape and made it out they probably planned to leave pieces behind so they would say they drowned they were really smart so I believe they made it
True
No cap?
i was thinking that too
there was reported sighting of them in brazil
Same
Fun fact: the Angland brothers mom, was actually sent flowers every year on Mother’s Day till her death. And at her funeral, some of the people saw two abnormally tall women in heavy make up. They were never seen again.
Interesting
What do the two tall women have to do with it
Stammer 91 The idea is that they might have been the Angland brothers in disguise.
Stammer 91 their was an idea that they could have been the brothers in disguise
Stammer 91 they were the men in make up
Imagine being one of the prisoners and watching this
Lmaooo
Lmao
They are surely dead by now
@@cryptogirliebtc3987 not necessarily im pretty sure the fbi got a letter from one of them like not even a year ago and it was confirmed it was from that person
They might go - THAT AINT WHAT HAPPENED
i feel bad that West couldn’t escape. imagine working on something for 8 months and then not even being able to attempt the escape. heartbreaking
My thoughts too
agree
I thought he’d seen his arse and bottled it, using proper cement doesn’t sound right for the air brick at the back of the cell?! Where would he have got proper cement if the others hadn’t used the same?!
Honestly I think hes in on the plan and was used as a decoy for the three to escape (like throw the guards off) considering how smart the escapees are ... I mean the raft they made couldn't possibly carry 4 full grown men and maybe Morris was a huge part of the plan and Ik for a fact that one of the brothers wont be left behind so they probably gave Allen a fake plan and used him to throw the guards off lol
Haha heartbreaking because he couldn’t escape from prison 😂
What happened if they faked it on purpose? Just like they did with thier heads they probaly made it to believe that there dead
I was gonna comment that!
Justin on 1000 ping
Morris had sent three letters to the FBI, one had pictures of the brothers. And one said one brother had cancer, they said they would go back only for two years if they got medication.
@@crunch5 that can be another plan cause like he said at the end he said they still dont know
Justin on 1000 ping probably tbh Because why would u break outta jail then tell everyone u broke out yenno u wouldn’t want that at all n bake in the day no one thot “doing the race” was cool getting away clean n unseen was definitely the move back then yenno

kadoing he's just meming bro
I like how everyone instead of being scared (even thought they probably died because of age, diseases, etc)they are proud of them.
I just can’t wrap my mind around how they did all this and made all this and hid it without the non-compromised guards seeing anything
Andrew Hook you’re dumb for that comment
It’s possible. I know people in prison who still have their phones and still be smoking weed in there. It’s two things, either they are great at hiding things and know where guards won’t look. Or they know some guards there and easily bribed them.
You’d be surprised on what actually happens in prison. In prison, people do use whatever resources they can get their hands on, and turn it into something else. My Uncle has been in many maximum security prisons, and the amount of cocaine usage and deals he had seen completely shocked him! I remember when he was release he had actually shown me many of the things he made/taught himself to do in prison, and I was actually so amazed by it.
There’s definitely other people involved with the case, security guards being one of them. No matter what officials say, jails are never 100% secured or safe.
bribed or embarrassed they would lose their jobs for not double checking noises and assuming the ocean was enough to scare prisoners from even thinking about escaping
Andrew Hook and nobody says anything about al copnes influences over the guards ! And like he couldn’t of had them a boat in the bay that night to pick them up that would have been the easy task of the intire escape job I’m sure al copne was powerful enough to do that are any of the 3 escape convicts faimly also
Don’t understand why this is a list. You can just say everything together like a normal person
maybe to make it more detailed tho
Makes it more organized and easy to follow. The set information in put into each number and that just makes it easier to listen to and understand.
I did understood why he did that, actually found it useful and organized, and I consider myself a total normal person....
Alexis Reed, I get that if it was a list of escapes, but he shouldn’t when he’s doing this type of vid

These men were very smart and worked on an escape plan for a very long time. I’m pretty sure they had a plan b knowing that their raft would eventually break apart.
It would break halfway. Meaning two good and experienced swimmers and a man full of adrenaline and determination would have 2 hours to swim halfway across a bay. They made it.
Of course they didn’t want the public knowing three men escaped and survived! That would cause a stir!
Yeah so they claimed "they drowned" to save their asses from humilation
Plot twist, the guy stayed behind on purpose, so he could tell authorities a fake escape plan, therefore not getting an extra sentence, and letting the boys gtfo.
Bingo 💡
did they agree if one couldnt make it or got caught they would make up a bullshit story to the police and fbi??
Damn... He really took one for the team, if I were the escapees I'd send him commissary every chance I get
they made it look like they didn’t survive so the cops wouldn’t be on the search for them

These comments make me cringe so fucking hard
Absolutely no way that they were tHat smart to pull off an escape like that to just be swept away by the water. 100% it was all planned and the entire “there was never any robberies or stolen vehicles” thing after their disappearance just means they were never going to do that in the first place.
Yeah, I think that guy who stayed behind was just giving them false info so they couldn't actually find the three once they made it on land
Hey K same
Alexis lu Ikr cause it would be very predictable. They calculated everything.
thats true.. either never going to do it in the first place or once they made it to land the improvised a new plan since they had to leave a man behind with the original plan and he would obviously need to snitch to be forgiven
It said one of there's IQ was a 133 only 7 points of from a genius so im pretty sure that they were smart enough to do that

Fascinating story, no matter how many documentaries I watch I never tire of watching about this great escape (pun intended) although sadly I strongly believe despite actually getting off the island which was phenomenal I do believe they drowned. The inflatable raft had no means testing whatsoever there must of been some miniscule leaks which a makeshift raft certainly would have. Nevertheless I love the story of pure ingenuity. (supplementary) I'm amazed at the number of replies am receiving on this topic of which I thank everyone. Look, these three men where no angels but they weren't exactly mass murderers either just thieves, I'm on the side of the prisoners in all this, but let's all admit one thing as I've wrote earlier. They'd be extremely lucky to have crossed a turbulent bay to land with a raft filled with air that was no where near any kind of water until that actual night of the escape. And we all know if there even the most microscopic hole, tear, or even and a weak part of the glueing then when you consider the weight of these three men putting extreme pressure on this inflatable makeshift raft then they where doomed. I would love to believe they made land and all three lived out their lives in complete anonymity. But that's another problem I have, and another reason I believe they didn't make it. Theses guys where incredibly bright obviously, especially Frank Morris. But, had they let's say succeeded and are now maybe dead or maybe one or all three are still alive? Where talking in terms of 85+ years of age. Now, being that age surely the urge and the absolute irresistible desire would be if one of them still lives would be to just get a top journalist a top investigor and say here! I'm Frank Morris and I beat Americas supposedly inescapable prison called alcatraz, and by doing that wouldn't we all agree the enormous triumphalism and joy Mr Frank Morris would feel and millions of people around the world including me! They surely would have nothing to lose in their final weeks of life at a very old age to basically stick two fingers up to the authorities and at the same time stick to thumbs of to the millions of people who totally admire what they achieved. Why not, why the complete disappearance! Forget the conspiracies, The alleged photos, the anecdotal stories, No one has heard from these men since June 1963! I'd love the replies to keep coming, and particularly I'd love to hear your opinion on especially when these guys on their death beds having lived out long lives with nothing to lose, and don't forget the financial aspect too, why the silence for over 50 +years? I'd like your opinion on that particular thing please. Lastly I still believe they drowned, and i still unfortunately believe there at the bottom of the ocean obviously their bodies aren't anymore but some sort of paraphernalia is!💓
Pretty much how I feel about the story. The escapees drowning is the most reasonable explanation but it's definitely not a lock for happening. They're willing to risk everything to get out so the sheer determination was there and they weren't really that far from land
Kezza Banana this was so well planned I doubt they would mess up on the raft.
@@joshuasanchez9311 I would love you to be right, I really would however the fact that no one has heard seen even reported anything I. E theft in all these years I just can't agree with the motion that they survived. This escape was a masterclass no doubt but hey you never know? But its just my opinion.
Kezza Banana alright, it is a opinion I just believe they did escape
One of the guys actually wrote a letter years after the escape, apparently all three survived - one died in 2005 and another in 2008, the man who wrote the letter had cancer at the time of the letter. I think they made it because there has been proof - unless all the evidence was faked
I visited for for the first time ever in 2017, all the way from Australia. Alcatraz tour was a great experience, this video makes it even better

Now I'm thinking about the movie Escape from Alcatraz with Clint Eastwood. Anybody else enjoyed that movie or just me? Lol
They were geniuses, I believe with all their knowledge they survived. There is definitely a lack of evidence, but I still believe they did. But I also think this theory that they survived is hard to get evidence for. Keep in mind this was many years ago, they’re most likely dead. The fact that they are dead actually makes the theory I’m thinking of impossible to actually prove with 100% true-full evidence. But their plan actually seemed pretty intelligent and seems some what possible, they know how to work the plan properly I’m guessing that they survived.
Frank Morris had a high IQ. Not sure about the Anglins
watch the documentary ua-cam.com/video/FVtaxYKk74M/v-deo.html
There is no lack of evidence. More plausible theories that they did and there is more evidence that they did
@@salvaje20 they grew up swimming ice water in Lame michigan in the 40's. They knew the temperature of the water. No doubt they made it, as for Morris. He was pumped on adrenaline and determination and shit. They all made it and the FBI claimed they drowned to cover their asses. They made it and one died in 2005, one in 2008, and the other was 82 with cancer in 2013 and would be dead now. Either way they made it that night
Prison guards didn't live on the island. Morris and 2 Anglin brothers hitched a tow rope to the boat that ferried guards to Frisco after the afternoon shift ended. Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson was released in summer of '62. He picked up the 3 escapees at about the midway point between Alcatraz and Frisco with a motor boat. Remember, the FBI found their raft, but not their bodies. They were PROS....they worked out all these details ahead of time! I believe the Anglins mother DID get Xmas and birthday cards from Brazil!

Bro i'm so obsessed with this case. I've always known about the escape but this year I've been so attached. I love the theories and stuff. I'm so annoyed that the FBI declined the offer on the letter. It makes no sense, even if it isn't John Anglin and it's just some random person making a joke, its still worth a shot. I hope they survived, none of them deserved death and its cruel and unfair that they would probably still be sent to prison if they all came forward now. They have done their time, hiding, not being able to receive healthcare or get a job for 60 years.
People are so intelligent when it doesn't count lol be that intelligent on the outside world before the charges and confinement.
BBW Queen how does successfully escaping “not count” lol
Carter Hemings maybe because they have to live in secrecy. They can’t publicize their knowledge, help others, etc, because then boom, someone finds them. Therefore it doesn’t count.

Alcatraz Prison Escape
Alcatraz was a prison on an island off of San Francisco bay. Alcatraz was the toughest prison in America containing the toughest prisoners in America. It was surrounded by freezing temperatures, strong ocean currents, and deadly sharks. It would be incredibly hard to escape this island, but Clarence Anglin, John Anglin and Frank Morris accomplished that incredibly hard task.
My name is Frank Morris and I am extremely smart. According to Answers.com I had an IQ of 133, but I used my high intelligence for escapes at other prisons, which got me into Alcatraz. I was born on September 1, 1926 in Washington D.C. I was orphaned at age 11, and committed my first crime at the age of 13. Whilst still at Alcatraz, I met a person who told me about the access to the corridor from the ventilation vents, so this is when I started planning my escape. It took months of planning, but it would all be worth it, I couldn't wait to feel the ocean breeze on my face.
June 12th, 1962, best day of my life, the day it happened. We worked, and worked, and worked. It was hard work but we gradually widened the ventilation air duct. We used A drill made from a broken vacuum motor. We used saw blades from the prison ground, and we used spoons stolen from the mess hall to widen the vents. It was then, we realized, the guards would notice we were missing. We devised a plan to make paper mache heads that looked just like us to fool the guards into thinking we were still sleeping. We made the paper mache heads out of cement, that we made with soap and toilet paper. This served as the skin. The skin was soon painted flesh color, which we found in the prison art kit. Real hair from the barber shop was used. This fooled the guards, until they went to wake us up, and found out they were fake, but after they figured this out, we were already floating away on our raft made from raincoats. They never figured out if I was dead or alive, well, they never recovered the body, so there's no way they could know. Several other people tried to escape, but they didn't succeed. Wikipedia even recorded that they all died. They were not as smart as me though, and they didn't plan as thoroughly as we did.
Legend has it, we all survived the escape, and yes, this is true. Cbsnews did a report on John Anglin’s escape letter. The letter read, "My name is John Anglin. I escaped from Alcatraz in June 1962 with my brother Clarence and Frank Morris. I'm 83 years old and in bad shape. I have cancer. Yes we all made it that night but barely!" Listen, before you say he's dumb for sending that letter, Alcatraz was shut down in 1963, just one year after the escape, plus John was in critical condition, and at that point, he probably knew he was going to die. Therefore, he is the reason so many people now know, that the escape was a success. Although he's probably dead now. 83 years old, and a bad case of cancer. I don't need to be a medical professionalist to know that's unhealthy. Anyway, we have come to the conclusion he’s probably dead, but that's another mystery worth solving I guess.
Here is my 5th grade essay I wrote on Alcatraz after I visited it.

The body that ship spotted was actually found however I came up that it was a female body and not male all thought the body were the same height
I already know this stuff but cool video
0:40 i didn't know MGK was in Alcatraz and went back in time to become a rapper🤣
hahahaha he did though!!!
michael, sucre and the crew be like
This is so cool! I didn’t know about this case before watching this video and I think it’s fascinating! Thank you for informing me :)
I think they made it ! It’s my understanding the raft was found and had footprints leading away from it, also a car was reported stolen and driven with three men, the authorities simply didn’t want this information out and let other prisoners know they successfully escaped. I don’t think we will ever know for sure either, one thing for sure that escape was a masterpiece!! 🤷♂️
Fun Fact: My dad used to work at a haunted house that used to be one of Al Capone’s hideouts. It’s located near Couderay Wi. He doesn’t work there anymore because it was closed down for some reason.
Duh they got away 🤦🏾♂️
Never thought that a criminal is smarter than me
Poopy Troopy most criminals are really smart and have a high IQ.
Amber Jenkins good to know.
That's a very ignorant thing to say
Gino Caba huh how lol.
@@Gmzlea I was replying to poopy troopy, to say "never thought a criminal is smarter than me" is just ignorant. Just because they're criminals doesnt make them stupid
Video Alcatraz escape
Me: happily waiting for zombies to pop out
Im happy i knew about these :)
They made it. I think One of them send a letter to that prison.

I went tour Alcatraz and we heard about the escape...since then I’ve been fascinated
I went to Alcatraz when I visited san Fransisco for a holiday from Sydney
Only scofield can take them out
10:13 the squirrel😂😂😂

Random drug deal clip that has nothing to do with this video?
it probably represents their smuggling of tools and stuff they needed
Those 3 men are probably watching this if they are still alive, and laughing about it while drinking a glass of wine somewhere out there 🤣🤣🤣
One thing I learned : Never lock up a smart guy
Only I would watch this at 3 AM
imagine walking pass an inmate room, blasting a whole ass concert
Officer: "aight imma join y'all folks"
Nobody:
Random person:Oh I’ve been there before
Me:😅😅😅😅
