Frank Morris & the Anglin Brothers' great escape

Summary

In 1962, Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin devised one of the most involved and innovative plans to escape Alcatraz, a prison on an island in the San Francisco Bay, known for housing some of the country s most dangerous criminals. Right under the noses of the guards they cut holes in their cell walls, crafted fake heads out of papier-mach as decoys, and constructed a raft out of raincoats, then successfully vanished one night. But after decades of false leads and dead ends, the fate of these escapees remains a mystery
