No Luck
The idea of escaping from Alcatraz prison was possible in theory, but in reality a lot of problems stood before inmates. Doing so alone would be considered a death mission, but doing so with a team would require trust, resources and careful planning. In the past, many failed with 23 inmates being caught, 6 being shot, 2 drowning and another 2 individuals presumed as drowned.
The Gang
There were four men who were determined to get out of Alcatraz, despite hearing of the horror foiled escape attempts. These men were Allen West, Frank Lee Morris, and brothers John and Clarence Anglin. All of their cells were close to one-another which gave them the opportunity to work on a plan to escape from the prison.
