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.
