Even though the 62' Escape trio was officially believed to have drowned, several factors have concluded that they could have survived. For example, in 1962, John Paul Scott escaped from the prison and swam successfully to the shore around Fort Point. Might I add that he nearly died from the severe shock from the cold water. He was later taken from the hospital and returned to Alcatraz. Also, in an episode of Myth Busters, it was confirmed that the party of 3 could successfully row a makeshift raft to the shores of the Marin Headlands. So yes, it is entirely possible that the escapees could have survived.

Why is Alcatraz on San Francisco bay?
It's on an rocky island, miles from shore, in very cold water, with rapid currents, that are known to contain white sharks, and it's very difficult to escape from Alcatraz and make it to shore alive. Only 3 people escaped from Alcatraz, and considering nothing was ever heard from them again, they probably died in the attempt, their bodies washed out to the Pacific Ocean, never to be seen again.

Alcatraz was built on a small island in the middle of San Francisco bay, which has very cold water, with strong tides heading out to sea, and some sharks swimming around it. It is a good place for a maximum security prison, and only 3 people Might have escaped from it alive.
