Alcatraz is located in San Francisco Bay. The island was originally developed to defend the bay, but was quickly used as a military prison. In 1934 the island was transferred to the Department of Justice and designated a Federal Penitentiary.

During it's 29 years as a federal prison 36 men tried to escape. 5 of those men were never found. Is it possible that they escaped?
