Alcatraz was deemed nearly impossible to escape due to its isolated location on an island in San Francisco Bay, surrounded by cold, treacherous waters filled with strong currents and often frigid temperatures. The prison's high walls, guard towers, and strict security measures, including armed guards and surveillance, further deterred escape attempts. Additionally, the inmates faced a daunting challenge in navigating the icy waters, which posed significant risks of hypothermia and drowning. Together, these factors contributed to Alcatraz's reputation as a maximum-security prison from which escape was nearly impossible.

Why is impossible to escape from the alcartaz prison?

The Alcatraz prison is no longer in use, and it was not impossible to escape the prison. Several attempts were made, with 3 escapees having dissapeared, and believed to have succesfully escaped, but it was never proven that they have (which means there's a possiblity they died in their escape attempts but the bodies were never recovered) if you want to read more into that, I suggest you visit the wikipedia page, they have broad information about it, and National Geographic Channel made a documentary about it. Another escape made it to the mainland in Fort Point where he was found by teenagers, suffering from hypothermia, and obviously brought back to prison. This is the only 'proven" case of an Alcatraz prisoner reaching the shore by swimming.
