Introducing The Alcatraz Four

Four men, bound by desperation and a shared dream of liberty, orchestrated one of the most audacious escape plans in Alcatraz’s annals. John and Clarence Anglin and Frank and Allen West, united by proximity and unyielding hours behind bars, meticulously crafted their route to freedom.

Their acquaintance wasn’t new; the Anglin brothers had previously met Frank while shackled together in an Atlanta prison. With nothing left to lose and disillusioned by life behind bars, they epitomized the ideal candidates for such a perilous endeavor. Their shared history and dire circumstances fueled a daring plot that would challenge the very essence of Alcatraz’s impenetrable reputation.
