No, Robert Stroud did not escape from the Alcatraz prison. He was transfered to the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Missouri. He died in that prison in 1963.
Three prisoners manage to escape from Alcatraz
3 prisoners escaped and were never found. That's why Alcatraz shut down, because there was now a possibility of escape.
It was virtually impossible to escape from because of the cold waters of the bay. BTW, Alcatraz prisoners were fed high-fat, high-calorie diets and denied exercise so that they would not be in condition to escape.
Pirates,Indians,and citizens attacked to help escape some of the prisoners.
Twenty-three were caught, six were shot and killed during their escape, and two drowned.....so 31 prisoners tried to escape.
Military prisoners
there were 1000 prisoners and cells
There was an "escape" attempt from Alcatraz on June 11, 1962 by 3 men. It is not technically an escape because the escapes are said to have died on the escape across the bay due to the freezing water, although there bodies have never been found. There is some who believe they did survive and just never were caught, but that hasn't been confirmed.
