Escape[]
Anglin attempts to escape Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary
Clarence Anglin was imprisoned on Alcatraz Island in Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary along with his brother, John. They met Frank Morris and the three planned an escape together. In 1962, they initiated the plan and left their cell using the ventilation ducts, meeting up with Morris in a utility corridor. Clarence and John ensured that they had everything, but Morris shushed them.
Anglin gets confused at the stranger's disappearance
They reached the outside and pulled a boat to the shore of the island, when they were suddenly interrupted by the appearance of a strange person. The stranger approached them and started talking to Morris. They asked if the stranger was connected to their boat, but the stranger did not know what they were talking about. The stranger kept referring to Morris as "Casey," so John asked why, and Clarence agreed that Morris introduced himself as Frank. Morris insisted that Frank was his name and that he did not know the stranger. The three resumed pulling the boat to shore, but got confused as the stranger suddenly disappeared. However, alarms started blaring, so they kept moving.
Anglin successfully reaches California
Their escape was successful and they reached mainland California together. The Anglin brothers celebrated and laughed while Morris staggered away and was recruited by the same stranger to leave the Anglins.[1]
