Is it true that everone at alcatraz dissapeared?

No, it's not true that everyone at Alcatraz disappeared. While the infamous prison housed many notorious criminals, it closed in 1963, and most inmates were transferred to other facilities. There were, however, a few notable escape attempts, including the famous 1962 escape by Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers, which led to speculation about their fate. Officially, they were never found, but there is no evidence to suggest that everyone at Alcatraz vanished.


Why was Alcatraz so heavily guarded?

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.
