This episode explores the legendary Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, once touted as the most secure prison in the world. We'll delve into the infamous escape attempts that challenged Alcatraz's impenetrable reputation, from the 1962 breakout by Frank Morris, John Anglin, and Clarence Anglin to the lesser-known but equally daring plots hatched by inmates. We'll hear from former Alcatraz guards, FBI investigators, and criminologists to understand how the prison's design, policies, and culture enabled some of the most sophisticated escape plans in history. This episode lays the foundation for understanding the unique challenges and vulnerabilities even the most secure facilities can face.
