Frank Lee Morris and two brothers, Clarence and John Anglin.
3 prisoners escaped and were never found. That's why Alcatraz shut down, because there was now a possibility of escape.
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.
A total of 36 prisoners escaped. Most were recaptured or killed trying to escape. 5 were never accounted for and were presumed dead. Officially, no one escaped.

Yes. During its 29 years of operation, the penitentiary claimed no prisoners as having ever successfully escaped. 36 prisoners were involved in 14 attempts, two men trying twice; Twenty-three were caught, six were shot and killed during their escape, and two drowned. The most violent occurred on 2 May 1946 when a failed escape attempt by six prisoners led to the so-called "Battle of Alcatraz".
