The June 1962 Alcatraz escape was an attempt by American criminals Clarence Anglin, John Anglin and Frank Morris to escape Alcatraz Island, one of the United States' most famous prisons. They burrowed out of their cells, climbed a ventilation shaft onto the roof and then climbed down and left the island on a makeshift raft. Despite an extensive search, the men were never heard from again and their fates remain unknown.By September 1961, Morris, West, and the Anglin brothers were planning an elaborate escape attempt. By late May 1962, they had finished making a small hole in the wall using several spoons, stolen from the dining hall, which took a year. Then on the night of June 11, 1962, they made their escape attempt and history. However, West did not make it out of his cell and was left behind. According to the acting warden, they put dummy heads, made of a mixture of soap, toilet paper and real hair in their beds to fool prison officers making night-time inspections.
Morris and the Anglins crawled out of their cells into a disused service corridor. From there they climbed up a ventilation shaft and reached the top of the roof. The trio then climbed down the rooftop, pumped up their rubber raft, jumped in and paddled away into the night.
