[Music] thank you [Music] it is available for purchase on the vessel and in the gift shops on Alcatraz you are welcome to picnic at the dock area anything food is not allowed anywhere else find out the trackers alcohol is not permitted on the island for your safety anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be permitted on messages available on request cruises vessels [Music] Alcatraz the ramen 12 barren acres in the middle of San Francisco Bay in 1934 it seemed a perfect place for an escape-proof of prison for America's worst please Alcatraz was America's most notorious top security prison escape attempts were rare all who had tried were caught killed or drowned but on June the 11th 1962 three prisoners achieved the unimaginable through a series of ingenious maneuvers that took more than a year to prepare frankly Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin broke out of their cells out of the prison and disappeared never to be found alive or dead it's still a mystery whether they survived or some say they are living sightings have been reported in southern Georgia in Florida and South America the case is still open some 40 years later [Music] their story began on August the 11th 1934 when the old military prison located on Alcatraz Island was reopened as a federal penitentiary before long its walls contain some of America's most notorious criminals including Al Capone Machine Gun Kelly Mickey Cohen and Robert Stroud the infamous Birdman of Alcatraz [Music] the maximum capacity of prison is 600 but Alcatraz rarely exceeded 250 prisoners they've posted the highest ratio of guards to prisoners the newly fitted out facility had state-of-the-art steel bars thick concrete walls and guard the rumored to be marksman with shoot to kill orders 1576 prisoners went to Alcatraz during its tenure as a federal prison of that large number of men there were only 14 escape attempts of which we are aware and 36 men who tried to escape none of those men succeeded some died violently some were shot to death most were recaptured Alcatraz Island has been surrounded with myths from his very inception some of those myths were that the water was way too cold for a man to survive the swim from Alcatraz a mile and a half to the mainland this is not true since 1900 if had been swamped irregularly with no problem there was also the myth put forth that the guard the guards on Alcatraz were expert sharpshooters many of them were not sharpshooters at all the Bureau of Prisons announced publicly that San Francisco Bay was filled with great white sharks which of course eat some beans there are no great white sharks in San Francisco Bay and there never have the plan to break out of Alcatraz was actually made by four men Frank Morris John Clarence Anglin and another prisoner named Alan Clayton West the four conspirators had cells near each other West next to Morris and the Anglin brothers next to each other a few cells away but even if the four prisoners could break out of the cell house they had a much bigger problem how to get off the island thou'rt is believed that if the fugitive survived it's likely they fled the country first in Mexico and only possibly to South America these men had studied Spanish while they were imprisoned during the course of the nine months they planned this escape the men did plan from the very beginning to escape down to South America where they figured they would be fairly secure from discovery after some four decades there's still no consensus regarding the fate of these famous fugitives only months after their 1962 escape attorney General Robert Kennedy announced the closure of the prison on Alcatraz Island the remaining inmates were transferred to other institutions now Alcatraz the escape-proof cuisine stands empty in San Francisco Bay and has become a tourist attraction [Music] [Music] so please for your options and generally pick one giant step there well well well nice to see

narrator's walk over to it walk do not run moving from one place to another I Pat Mahoney former Alcatraz correction officer and I'll be your guide I served seven years on the rock these first photos can't reduce some of my fellow officers I am Phillip Morgan captain of the guard the United States penitentiary Alcatraz : well my name is George demand Shenzi I used to play checkers with love with

was number five eighty six everybody wants to be an individual they want to be human and you weren't at the rock my name is Darwin : number fourteen twenty two figured I've never got to get out yeah I'm gonna step right here until I die now continue to either left up ahead you'll see an open gate on your right this was called the cutoff walk through the cut off the alcatraz cell house opened as a federal prison in 1934 within these walls lived the country's toughest most dangerous and most famous prisoners as soon as you exit the cutoff immediately turn right on to the next quarter it's called Broadway walk slowly along the line of cells on the right side each cell has a number above the cell door on your right find cell number one 13 stop and look inside Broadway was the first stop for arriving prisoners we went right down Broadway we're decent and all the guys you know Holland well here's a typical outfit race though everyone on the nacelle house exactly like had a middle table top that little chair that we bought it but feet wide nine feet long so that's what I call the little box no decoration allowed anything and pasted and continued to the next cell waiting on the bed for each new prisoner was a copy of the official rules and regulations this is the rolls of the cell house your cell is subject to search at any target L had to be folded up and put on your shelf toothbrush and they used to give us tooth powder the little green containers now continue ahead to the next sale I guess like a cockroach feels an immense bugs you may smoke in yourself in the library were issued a pack of oils on Monday Wednesday in affright every inmate that are a smoker or not continue to the next cell Junior Seau unpleasant ration but remember you want acuity in that cell and have pretty soon that still became like part of the movies or I became a part of the cell look ahead through the far end of Broadway you should see a clock on the wall walk towards it how could change is always classed as the end of the line the point of no return was like going into the ground when you're buried and you're gone forever Venezia is the area prisoners all time square when you get to Times Square turn left look over towards the right and find a large photo of the prison recreation yard walk over to it your cell is something deserted anything's fine prisoners had a decision to make whether to obey the rules or not to do good time or bad time that decision affected their lives dramatically and then maybe that's giving a house like everything else was a privilege time to exercise outside getting books and mail all had to be earned one of their favorite privileges was the recreation yard most wasn't place I believe I know most appreciated and prisoners also played bridge out in New York they used dominoes instead of cards they came out with a system called Auto Creek and you put it all by yourself guys got so wound up in this bridge thing that they ain't and slep it they go out there it would be so cold but you think think you could stay out there yet they stay out there for three hours to play rain and if you're off hydrogen you're studying bridge you're not thinking about going at all prisoners who chose not to behave ended up in a harsher place isolation kind of you should be facing the photo panel look to your left directly ahead is an open steel door Mark II block go through this door d-block was a prison within Alcatraz the treatment unit this place is going to operate on the base to see you do it you're doubled and you're gonna get a fair break you don't behave yourself we're gonna come down on you like a ton of bricks move a few steps into the room and find a place to stand look up at the three tiers of cells unruly or violent prisoners were sent here they stayed in their cells 24 hours a day typically they were only allowed out once a week for a shower and exercise in this cellblock we have 42 of the least popular cells and Alcatraz although by far they are the best roomiest and the nicest state-of-the-art cells that were available in this prison it was cold it was damn the wind used to just blow through there you could hear at night you could hear whistling through the windows one of the more infamous prisoners to live here in d-block was convicted killer Robert Stroud the so-called Birdman and almost immediately upon his arrival at Alcatraz he was relegated to the treatment area and he didn't bring his birds along with him which made him very unhappy but he brought all his bad habits with him which made us unhappy there we remained for several years being obnoxious and noisy and agitating and busily writing fluent in three languages a mathematical expert brilliant man a psychopath suicidal homicidal maniac now turn to face the window walk over to the photo panel on the wall you'll see a photo of Robert Stroud alongside Stroud you'll see some other well-known prisoners Alcatraz was built for men like these Alvin Karpis better watch out for him former public enemy number one creepy harpus when you see creepy you wouldn't have to be told he was creeped because he walked on his cold he had Kelly nice fella never give me any troubles at all very accommodating polite Nikki : Frankie goggle and Capone beautiful with the Polti he was a street fighter he's a big man he was a good shape the only thing his brain was gone he have syphilis well eventually they told me crazy now turn back to the cells walk over to the cells on the far right there's solid green doors this was solitary confinement the whole cells nine through 14 when the shell was occupied the regulations required that the light beyond where we kept the lights off when they were in there they were in the dark you may enter one of the cells if you wish well I'd go in the hole what I used to do was I tear up I've knocked my coveralls flip it up in the air then I'd turn around in circles then I get down on my hands and knees and I hunt for that bucket then when I found buddy I stand up back to it again [Music] but if you would close your eyes like right now close your eyes and see your eyes off with your hand with leuh concentration you can see a length pretty soon that light will get right and you've got a concentrate on it after a one over another short while this takes time and practice but pretty soon you can now open your eyes step out of the hole walk through the nearest doorway Marc library continue into the large open area this was a prison library you put your request on a library card if the book was available they bring it put in a large way prisoners with reading privileges could subscribe to approved magazines and if it had some story but some convict outta Nebraska or something that was cut out never mind that you might have been written as serial and it was on the back on their pages prisoners who behaved could also take correspondence courses took a course from the University of Pennsylvania an animal husbandry the gestation period for a pig is three months three weeks and three days now let's continue walk out of the library immediately turn left walk toward the recreation yard or wait up ahead stay along the left wall of the corridor you're now on C D Street C and D block they call it C D Street for c in d look for a large photo panel along the left wall stop when you get there in May of 1946 an inmate named Bernie coy along with five accomplices decided they would escape to freedom Alcatraz was built to keep every inmate directly under a gun you should now be at the photo panel this panel tells the story of the bloodiest escape attempt in Alcatraz history find the pictures of the escapees and look at the bar spread we'll hear more about these in a moment now turn right and continue slowly down the corner directly ahead of you and up above is a two-story walkway covered with bars this is the gun gallery that a man on the catwalk gun galleries you care to ask for a pistol stop when you get near the end of the roll of cells on Alcatraz guns were never carried down here on the floor only up in these galleries anyway this gun guy was more or less overseeing the whole prison notice the keys hanging from a hook attached to the gun gallery and they wonder what that is well that hook was for sceptic purpose of allowing the officer on the floor to send his keys up to the gallery for safekeeping you should be at the end of the cellblock we'll be standing here a moment to escape Bernie coy knew he needed the keys in the gun gallery he arranged for an accomplice in d-block to distract the officer in the gun galleries while he overpowered the officer here on the floor next to enter the gun gallery koi used his homemade bars Brynner he climbed the face of the Western gallery with his homemade bar spreader hanging around his neck see there at the top of the bars where they curved back towards the back wall well that's where he spreads the bars apart wide enough so that he could squeeze into the gallery boys surprised the gallery officer had knocked him out he grabbed his gun and keys and dropped them to his accomplices on the floor look below the gun gallery to the recreation yard door this was the door they hoped to open but none of the keys work the last thing I heard was this is the right key but it won't open the door outside the cell house other officers on duty were unaware of what was happy the phone's start ringing they weren't getting the answers then one by one eight guards walk into the cell house to be confronted by armed convicts more people kept coming in they kept catching more people please find cells number 402 and 403 walk over to them eight officers were captured and locked up in these cells the escape was now impossible the prisoners frustrations turned to rage joke Richard pointed his gun at the officers trapped in these cells wildland Sam Shockley incited Kretzer to kill the captive guards he shot them in cold blood one by one poking his gun between the bars of the south front and then right after that the siren wailing and they were doing [Music] now continued back up the aisle towards the library stop at the cutoff across from the library it is on your left what happened next became known as the Battle of Alcatraz what the hell they had to live for they were gonna die they were gonna die one way or the other warden Johnson called in the United States Marines for two days and the Marines and correctional officers bombarded the cell house from island slope and rooftops you should now be at the cutoff across from the library glance into the cutoff and look at the floor those pock marks were made by the exploding grenade that were dropped by the Marines through holes in the roof of the cell house on the wall above them you'll see a metal grate then the next morning things had quieted down and we decided that the escapees were dead we found them there in the utility quarter they were firing their guns as they died at the battles in two officers and three prisoners lay dead and two other prisoners were later executed for their role in the escape attempt step back out of the cutoff and on to CD streak continue walking slowly past the library along the quarter all Oh column was restored for San Franciscans the Battle of Alcatraz with a stark reminder of the danger of having a maximum-security prison on their doorstep escape attempts got the attention but in Alcatraz's 30 years history most days were uneventful and repetitive stop at the first furnished cell most accepted that this cell block however grim was home for now some considered this sunny area the most desirable part of the prison to live it was like coming back and read an old friend really take a look into the cells I used to do a lot of oil paintings on healthy Chinese if I was painting a scene of the Swiss Alps or something like that hey I'm right up there skiing as I'm painting and I used to escape that way my grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was a kid so I taught a lot of guys how to crochet big tough guys said in there with a Beatle hood crocheting move on to the next cell in the 1950s radios were installed at Alcatraz you might have noticed what looks like a light switch box with two holes prisoners plugged their earphones in there to listen to the radio we had two stations we can plug into they let us listen to such programs as Boston Blackie Pelican have gun will travel baseball games and basketball games move on to the next cell at night time between 6:30 and 7:30 they have what they call a music hour maybe play a moniker there whatnot they had one guy over there and he used to play when he slide some bones they ite only knew three notes for now that's all I knew Takako New Year's Eve everybody had had a saxophone or a clarinet or a guitar whatever started playing then they'd take some tin cups and they black and back and forth across the front of the bars turn around and look up at the windows they faced San Francisco and the Setting Sun the Yacht Club which was directly across from the island would always have a big New Year's party if the wind was blowing from that direction to the rock you could actually hear people laughing you get your music you could hear his girls laughing you know you could hear all the sounds that were coming from the free world at the rock but New Year's was always the night we continued to the end of CD Street when you get there turn left look for four small windows in the wall on the right there March visitation the prisoners called this peak in place when they've written me that letter and said you know you're dead don't ever come back we've told your sister you're dead the whole yeah no I didn't touch the rock seven and a half years the guard came up and rack my door open said : and I said yeah or said 586 and I said yeah you got a visitor and I told him I said you're full of crap he said you've got a damn mister go down to the visiting on approach the visitors windows that thought hell I'll see some good-looking chick at least if nothing else you know and I walked up there and here's this good-looking girl I I was nervous didn't know what to expect I knew who she was when I got a real good and when she said Jimmy which was what she always called me though I knew it was myself once I saw Jimmy it was you know he didn't look different and he was overwhelmed and we just he couldn't believe it he couldn't believe it that we were there and that that I had grown up and that I'd come to theme let's continue directly ahead on the right look for an open gate with a sign that reads administration wing walk through this door prisoners rarely saw the world behind this door we're now entering officer's country walk along the left side of the corner we're passing the prison control room on your right but keep walking we'll stop here again later turn left into the first doorway up ahead officers reported for duty in this room this is where the business of running the prison took place they said okay fall in step up to the mannequin in a glass case this is a typical Alcatraz officer's uniform uniform was prison grey for the Hat I wore a hat all the time regular double-breasted uniform and they used to call you red ties because everybody in the place had to shred tired even supplied your shoes new socks didn't look like a policeman you didn't look like a social worker the only thing they tried when he went in the cell hospital suicide I carried a SAP we weren't supposed to been there any of us here unlike the prisoners officers could leave the prison many officers lived right here on the island walk over to the large window and take a look out when you got done work you just run down kids the next boot and you're in San Francisco in 12 minutes and you can stay go to a movie have dinner pitch the last boat back just to the left of the plaza is what remains of the warden Eve house officers housing was just down over the hill oh my name is William long we had quite a plan a little community there on our trade that included wives and children my mother was putting me to bed one night and I could hear the prisoners they were yelling and just raising a ruckus and I said what is that noise and she said oh just the prisoners letting off steam i'm jolene Babiak and I lived on Alcatraz as a child we all work together we all played together we had two bowling alleys where we had bowling leagues we never locked our doors or any money on it never they had a little grocery store it was like living in a very small town now continue through the nearest open doorway keep walking through the next small room the larger room up ahead is the warden's office I never did see what it looked like inside though our warden's office the only time I ever found out where we looked like is when I come back as a tourist Alcatraz had four wardens over its 29 years span walk over to their photos the prison opened in 1934 under the strict discipline of warden James Johnston they call him salt waters Johnson see things start to change the new warden you coming elbowing up a little law move to the next photo oh yeah warden they had swollen nobody want to tangle with school the convicts calling the devil next was warden Paul Madigan and his nickname was promising Paul he promised you everything he could never give you nothing the last war he was old in black wealth he was in charge when the prison closed Oh mr. Blackwell mr. Blackwell was a character he was a Texan and a really nice guy now continue through the next doorway and walk outside immediately turn right we're only going to be outside for a short time keep moving along the walkway to the open area up ahead when you get there find a place to stand where you can see San Francisco you couldn't beat ARCA trash but the beautiful view there so there was never a day you didn't see what the hell you were losing and what you were missing you know it was all there for you to see there's life there's everything I want my life and it's there it's a mile or a mile and a half away and yet I can't get to look at the city directly across from us San Francisco is only a mile and a quarter from Alcatraz and it's a combination of tides and temperature that makes that swim so treacherous I recall getting that water like a shock and expect it to be that call if you can do it it's up to you but you got to pay the price if you find it cold out here you may walk through the green doors into the front of the cell house just inside turn left and you can look out the windows at the bay my father was Arthur M dhalsim in 1961 he became the associate warden On June 12th 1962 associate warden Arthur Dalton was in charge while warden Blackwell was away on a two-week fishing vacation my father was already up at 7 o'clock in the morning having his breakfast and of the phone rang and he told me later that he reached to that phone with dread because he knew that wasn't gonna be good news art Dawson got the news that there had been an escape three men were missing from the cell house we all believed in the escape proof myth and this turned out to be one of the most sophisticated escape attempts in US history if you have it already step through the green doors in the front of the cell house step into the large open room on your left now look into the control room window if you're already inside turn around and look into the control room when they heard the escape siren every officer on the island rushed here to report for duty prison authorities had made their own plans in case of escape the escape response plans were located in a locked safe and so my father had to go and get the key or the combination and unlock the safe and then that would determine which officers were armed where they were positioned and make sure that all the bases were covered in any kind of escape now go back and continue down the quarter along the left side walk back into the cell block I wanted to escape in my mind constantly you cannot take away from a man that thought that he wants his freedom and you reenter the cell block immediately turned right we're heading for what the inmates called Michigan Avenue when you get there cross over to the cells on your right walk through the large photo panel up ahead earlier on the morning of June the 12th 1962 officer bill long had been in charged of the first count of the day and at the sound of the Bell the inmates are supposed to be dressed and up standing in front of doors for count bill bill was the guy up here I can't get up well it's just hard this is I'll get him up look across the aisle or cell number 138 walk over to it and look inside Hey and he was laying in there so I reached in through the bars and I hit the pillow lord knows what happened the head fell off on the floor the guy said that I shot back about sit here these faces had air on it and everything one of the other officers yes sir here's another one bill right there's one up Arabella and I said don't touch him don't touch it a horror movie and and I was right in the middle of it you should be facing the cells continue to your left two cells number 150 and 150 two prisoners Frank Lee Morris and two brothers John and Clarence Anglin had escaped the night before they made dummy heads to fool the officers Morris was the brains the angry Russian they were just swamp rats out of Florida according to the reports the men enlarged the vent openings in the back of their cells was stolen two spoons I'll give you a ton of spoons and I want to see how long it take you to go to one of them walls that in walls may be old but let me tell you you know you're not going through themselves with them spoons they didn't make those holes with spoon handles they had the necessary tools hammers and chisels and drills no one thought it was possible to get through concrete using spoons but in fact they were heavy gauged steel and you break off the bowl you got a drill in fact 13 spoon handles and a ladle handle were actually found hidden in two cans of cement paint after the escape was over now continue to your laugh to the end of the cellblock turn right just around the corner look for a glass door inside is the utility quarter the three men climbed up these pipes to the roof at approximately 10:30 at night there was no sound like a hubcap when you drop dead go around look very long they worked for over a year to get up onto that roof and that would have been the most fantastic moment to have stood there knowing that you actually got out of the most secure building in the country the question has never been answered did they make it to freedom my theory is if they drowned they went to South America as I know they were all studied in Spanish the men have never been found face the utility quarter who your left is Broadway continue around the corner and back onto Broadway stay to your left and walk slowly down the quarter imagine it is nighttime and the cell house is dark lights went out around 9:30 at night and that was it it was dead quiet try like a mausoleum it's kind of scary walking around with dark tears and some would sleep with their eyes open some grind your teeth some talked in your sleep you lay awake a long time I can sit out there in two Tower at that time and see the full moon come up continue slowly down Broadway has to cut off toward Times Square in the housing of inmates at Alcatraz and was deemed necessary to keep the black separate and the whites at that time Alcatraz mirrored American Society this part of Broadway was a segregated section for black prisoners stop when you get to the end of the cellblock Mexicans Indians wait they can all cell next to each other the only ones that couldn't relax they tried it and they opened up and they had such a high population of hostile rednecks and such a low population compared ibly of blacks they soon found out they couldn't do it they finally integrated all the other penitentiary if not out fencing of the 100 or so officers only a handful were black in the srei difficult they got rid of anybody with an education as their feeling was someday that guy is going to be my boss you should now be at the end of the quarter this is the area known as Times Square directly ahead of you is the dining hall step through the doorway and move toward the bars at the back of the dining hall three times a day all the men in general population gathered here for 20-minute meals imagine 200 plus men each armed with a knife fork and spoon this was potentially the most dangerous room in a cell house and if you notice up on the ceiling there you see these canisters up there dotted around that's tear gas and we we nicknamed the dining room the gas chamber it so happened during a history of Alcatraz they never did trip the button if they did trip it they would have made a fatal mistake because and two guards in there and the lieutenant would never have gotten out of there alive now walked through the barred area at the far end of the dining room behind it is a kitchen area notice the knife rack on the left the shape of each knife was outlined on the rack this way officers could tell immediately if one was missing even so some knives disappeared I think about three four men got killed with kitchen work and I heard that old familiar pops slap you know and chili had drove it into Sosa's back was just like an ice pick you stuck it right in the back and that was the pop slap iron feel free to set on one of the benches Alcatraz I don't think you ever heard anybody say anything disparaging about the meals it was a strict requirement of the Bureau of Prisons that the food not only be palatable and healthy but attractively served when they first started making spaghetti and putting in on it was pretty good and it kept going down down down noodles noodles and plum juice so somebody said damn it the next time they put that spaghetti out on the line is gonna turn the tables over the following week there was a damn spaghetti where he's seeing all the tables are coming like Domino [Applause] and the lives of those officers in that dining room were in jeopardy and soul burden just took it an end but that Thompson and knocked out three panes of glass waited waited knocked out the third got everybody's attention jam that actuate and loved her back and she went click and they all heard it and they knew what it meant and I sadly kind of blow your whistle just quietly he blew his whistle inmates started to get up me marched out of the dining room just like little lambs at the end of three decades over 1,500 men had served time on the rock by then Alcatraz had served its own time after years of harsh wind and weather the Billings were badly deteriorated the isolated island was too expensive to run and now in the 1960s prison reformers preached rehabilitation instead of punishment early in 1963 attorney General Robert F Kennedy ordered Alcatraz closed look back toward the dining hall entrance walk over to the large photo of prisoners walking down Broadway they were the last prisoners to leave the rock on March 21st 1963 the last day we were there we ate breakfast in the dining room showered and put on clean uniforms and shackles and handcuffs to the boat I saw past and made leave the last thing I went from Hell to heaven then when I stopped to think what I was doing over there locked up in those gun galleries and towers and Riesling inmates yes everything held and I remember when they released me I've been locked up 15 years and there all this time I never had no visits no letters no nothing and I'm watching the cars whizzing by and the people walking there everything was moving too fast and I didn't know how to move would it and then I remember how envious I was for these people because they all had a destination they're all going someplace and I didn't know where I was going and I was scared to death on behalf of the National Park Service and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy thank you for taking the alcatraz cell house tour and supporting America's national parks now you'll be returning downstairs walk back toward the dining room door do not exit follow the signs pointing to the stairway on your left please hold the handrails as you go down the stairs will take your player as you exit a brief reminder all tour equipment is electronically protected against set and will trigger alarms if taken aboard the boat goodbye and thank you for visiting Alcatraz [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
