According to Allen West’s claims, the inmates planned to reach Angel Island. The 2011 National Geographic piece revealed that there was evidence of their landing there on that night. Footprints on the beach were visible, a car had been stolen in the area of those footprints, and a makeshift raft wreckage was found too.
