The Chilling Mystery Behind The Only Inmates To Ever Escape The Infamous Alcatraz Prison

The Brothers

In the forbidding confines of Alcatraz, Frank Lee Morris assembled a team that would come to be known as “The Rock.” Among its ranks were two intriguing brothers, John and Clarence Anglin, and a fellow inmate named Allen West. Hailing from the wandering roots of Georgia, the Anglin brothers had traversed the Southern landscape, their family a clan of nomadic farmers chasing seasonal harvests.

Their annual migration, like clockwork, took them northward in June, a seemingly innocuous routine that would soon become a key piece in the puzzle of their audacious Alcatraz escape. Little did they know, their past would provide the cunning advantage they needed to challenge the prison’s unyielding grip.
