While the idea of escaping Alcatraz seemed possible, it wasn’t in reality. Escaping alone meant certain death and escaping with more than one person meant putting all of your trust in other inmates and gathering resources and sticking to a plan. There were 33 prisoners who attempted to escape. 23 of those inmates were captured, 6 were shot to death, 2 drowned, and 2 were believed to have drowned.
