Escape-Proof Prison
By 1934, civilian prisoners were starting to get held at the Alcatraz Penitentiary. The island was quite far from the shore, so all the prisoners would have a hard time pulling off an escape. Simply swimming could lead to their death from its strong currents and cold temperature.
These scary factors didn’t stop people from making attempts, though, and reports say there were a total of 14 known attempts to escape the island. As predicted, none of them got to make it back to the mainland safely. The island is something you’d see in a Hollywood film.
