I might be able to take my kids in a couple months. Has anyone been on the night tour? That one sounds like it would be pretty spooky and awesome.

    Currents are strong in the bay. The current, when I visited, seemed to go out to sea, not towards land. If someone met them in a boat, they made it. If they didn't have a plan they probably didn't make it. In the back of my mind I have always hoped they made it.

    #1 it is believed that the inmates that escaped didnt use the raft to go all the way and stopped half way on got in a boat. There was reports that a police officer saw I boat in between land and Alcatraz Island
    #2 there were 4 men who came up with the plan but only 3 escaped because the other one had a bar in his whole... He was the guy who came up with the plan and built the raft -_-

    I built the props that are in the MGM cells today [those pictured with the dummy]. My boss made the dummy heads, and got the hair from his wife's hairdressing business. He was shown the actual escape artifacts at the FBI warehouse and photographed them from which I created the props. Besides the urban legend of just 'spoons' the cons made an electric drill from a vacuum cleaner motor. Which I recreated for our film shoot, America's Most Wanted version of the escape, made possible by Acme scenery co.

    There were at least a dozen escape attempts from Alcatraz. Bank robbers Darl Parker and Paul Scott tried to swim to freedom,. Parker stopped at "Little Alcatraz and could go no further. He was recaptured. Scott swam for the skyline and made it to a point under the Golden Gate Bridge. He fell asleep and when he woke up he was surrounded by police. This was in 1962. It was possible to reach the mainland by swimming.
