What I know about Alcatraz is not a whole lot. But what I do know is this.

It was(is?) an Islandic Maximum security prison. I do recall people always saying. Escape from alcatraz is impossible. Also I don't know how many escapees they had, but I don't think it was all that many.

Anyways the conditions of the island weren't nice if I recall right.

I believe they had thier own generator. The water was extremely rough, making swiming an unlikely feat. At least it was something like that.. or I hope I am thinking of the right prison...


But yeah.. definately High-security.

For good info here is a web-page Alcatraz and here is a diagram

Yeah it was said to be impossible to escape from. The 3 men? I think it was 3 that did try to escape all are thought to have died trying to swim to shore. Their bodies were never found.

Obviously, you've never seen "The Rock".

He would've gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for that meddling family.
