How I Escaped From Uncle Sam's Devil's Island (The Alcatraz)

It’s June 11th, 1962. I’m sitting in my cell, just after supper. The guard finished his rounds a few moments ago And now the other inmates are playing their instruments. It’s music hour, if you can believe it. But even though I’ve a squeeze box of my own, I ain’t playin’ tonight. I’m on three hours of sleep - if that. And I’ll be lucky if I get any at all the next 24 hours. That’s because I am Frank Morris, prisoner AZ 1441, and tonight - I am escaping Alcatraz.
It’s the most famous prison in the world. A fortress set atop 22 acres of rock. There it sits in San Francisco Bay, a mile and a half across turbulent waters from Fisherman’s wharf. Maybe on a good day, you can make out the Golden Gate Bridge, three miles away. If the fog has lifted, that is, and you ain’t huddled up in your peacoat ‘cause even in June it’s 60 degrees Fahrenheit and the wind is always blowing.
This video is inspired by true real life events.

The team and I are taking a much-needed vacation for a few days, so please enjoy these videos that we LOVED making for the I AM channel, that we wish more people had seen. Let me know what you think and if you feel like we should bring this style back. Much love from me (The Infographics Show 'Guy') and everyone on the team!

I used a similar method of using noise to cover the banging. The bed unscrewed with a belt buckle and when I kick the football against the wall my escapee bangs bed against double layer plexiglass.

Well to be fair Alcatraz was a bit of a footnote so no surprise you didn't learn about it. I'm not even sure if California students learned more about it because I'm from Kentucky and Alcatraz was sometimes briefly mentioned like with AL Capone during Prohibition but it was just brief
