The Notorious Escape From Alcatraz Summary

The Notorious Escape from Alcatraz Prison

In San Francisco, California is where the notorious Alcatraz prison is located. A total number of 14 escape attempts which included 36 men. Twenty-three were caught,seven were killed,and one person drowned. But, you can’t forget about the inmates Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers’ . Some people believe that these inmates died trying to escape.Others believe that the Alcatraz escapees are still alive to this day. On June 11,1962 the brothers were never seen or heard from again,or at least that’s what people say. Even though there was a high likelihood that their boat could have been swept out to sea by the strong current, Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers could have pushed their way through the current and survived.

First of all, evidence shows that the Anglin brothers and Frank Morris could have used the outgoing ferry to cross the deadly shark infested water and survive.In the text “The Real Escape from Alcatraz” on page 6, the text states that the brothers could have ridden on an outgoing ferry.

In addition, this text states that a 120 ft long piece of electrical wire went missing at the prison and never turned up. This evidence, therefore shows that the Anglin brothers could have escaped riding the back of an outgoing ferry using electrical wire.

Second of all, frank Morris and the Anglin brothers knew exactly how to escape. The author shows in the article “A Real Escape from Alcatraz” on page 7,visuals and graphics of the inmates toolkit. The tool kit included pictures of the artifacts left behind by the inmates. Also, another example of evidence can be found on page 6 of that text. The article states that the Anglin brothers were given tips by their childhood friend on exactly how they could escape and that’s exactly what they did. This evidence shows that they had a plan to escape and were given tips by one of their childhood

friends.
However, some people could argue that a body was spotted floating by the Golden Gate Bridge. Scientists have also proved that there was a strong enough current that most likely could have killed them. People could also argue that no one before had ever escaped Alcatraz alive. Although this evidence may be true other evidence says otherwise. The Anglin brothers mom was sent Christmas cards. In addition, a picture of the brothers is shown of them in Brazil in 1975. To this day the escapees haven’t been marked caught or dead.
The Anglin brothers have been seen and heard from, even though people say otherwise, it’s true!! In the text “The Real Escape from Alcatraz” on page 1 it shows a picture of the Anglin brothers standing next to a rock, to represent Alcatraz, in Brazil in 1975. This text also states that Ms. Anglin was sent Christmas cards from her sons that were signed and dated. This evidence proves that they are in fact alive and have been seen as well as heard from.
All this evidence proves that the inmates Frank Morris and John and Clarence Anglin escaped alive! although , other evidence shows they should have drowned that doesn’t explain how they have been seen as well as heard from. The so called “inescapable rock” prison of Alcatraz in fact allowed three inmates to escape, Frank Morris and John and Clarence Anglin!!!
