Well for one, Alcatraz housed some of the world's most deadly criminals. Also many of the convicts placed on Alcatraz were masters of escaping. Thus the security had to be up to par so the master escapees would be challenged on how to escape. Now in 1962, three men did sucsessfully escape from Alcatraz. They, on the other hand, were never seen again and were presumed dead by the State Officials. What this has to do with security is the three escapees had to dig through an 8 inch wall of concrete surrounding their cells.
