Surrounded by the San Francisco Bay.

It's always cold.

July 27th 1934

They had special steal bars. .

The prisons construction is unlike everything that's ever been seen before it's a 3 tier building inside a main cell building. Concrete walls. 6 watch towers with armed guards.

even if u manage to get out of ur cell. And scrape the walls and escape. You have to face the San Francisco Bay, where you'll freeze. Under 3 hours you'll get hypothermia.And die

Ex of people stuck in the prison : Chicago crime boss. Al Capone. ,Robert Stroud. Etc

4 small timed crooks. Who got in. Got famous because of the way they got out

••Allen West, the loose canon. (Comes up with the escape plan) he noticed one of the vents were broken and that could be the way out and the only access to the roof. He starts looking for collaborators

•• Fray Morris. the line wolf. who's very fast, he's got the most escapes.

•• John anglin, The face

•• Clarence anglin, the scroungen . they can take nothing and make something out of it.

After they failed escaping Laverange they got shipped to Alcatraz.

The first task was to get them together. Near adjacent cells. But rules are 2 brothers should not be together. After months of weird behavior. The warden allowed all 4 in adjacent cells. They started formulating the plans. Escape the cell. Through the 6x9 inch rated vent. Which made them figure out that if they made a big enough they could escale to the gap in between.sep 1961 they stole spoons from the cafeteria and started digging, west and Morris read engineering books. Anglins were next to each other. So we're Frank and Allen. They would watch as one did the work and vise versa. After moths of chipping.

They need to find a way through the exterior and through the gunpoint guards . And find a way to cross the freezing Francisco Bay.

There was an air vent that reached to the roof. And they made it, but the problem was it was bolted and how will they make it out without anyone figuring out that they weren't in the cells, they fashioned fake heads with soap, chicken legs, dummy heads, and drew they're girlfriends. They added human hair on the top. They shoved blankets and pillows in for the body. If the guards see the head, they leave.

During the day they sealed the hole they made in the air vent. And Allen got hold of the prisons paint.

They weren't able to pass through the air vent as it was bolted tightly and above it was the cell block exposed to any guard who glances that way.

Allen had the cleanest floor and convinced one of the officers and the captain to out blankets to cover the floor right above the air vent.

. . . . . . . and it continues to what they did in next chapter.

The whole prison supported each other. It's like a code. The inmates were in.

Their main concern was the bolts in the air vents. They sawed it. And then made a fake one with soap in its place. They need to find a way down through the roof, and cross the guards and the Francisco bay.

Frank Morris and the anglin brothers broke through the main parts of the Alcatraz prison.

The final and most formidable part is the freezing Francisco Bay. 2 drowned trying to cross the bay, 6 died. One made it to the land but died on shore.

The escapees needed floatation devices, like a raft,, and they read a popular mechanics magazines, they were allowed to receive magazine subscriptions, the inmates had rubber and was used to make a raft.

It's an isolation cell, federal social re adaptation number two known as Puente grande. Just outside Guadalajara, Mexico 🇲🇽

To escape means over coming layer after layer of impenetrable walls and an army of guards that outnumber the inmates my 1:2

El chapo - Drug Lord. Always have they're own armies, he needs to withstand the power of the guards even if he gets out . He is one of the most bloodthirsty and notorious narco criminals. Joaquin Guzman, known as El chapo. He's a billionaire, a murderer and a folk hero. To the Mexican government he's just public enemy number 1. He's the 21st centuries most famous narco celebrity he's still the most feared drug trafficker in the world there are places in Mexico where his name is just whispered now. He rose because he was ruthless. Because of him there were drug wars and hence the Mexican government launched a massive manhunt they apprehended him in Guatemala in June 1993 and he goes to the Puente grande prison.

Even though there were so many measures it doesn't seem as such a bad place for chapo using his reputation for brutal violence plus 2 and a half million dollars worth of bribes, he makes the prison a comfortable place to run his empire. The life lived by him in prison was even more luxurious than the Italian gangsters who were locked up good fellas. He had his pick of liquor, lobster and women

He was allowed to have visits from his main as well as 2nd wife, he also had a prison girlfriend. He bought the entire prison. He was able to sell drug shipments while Locked in prison.

He got $20Billion a month, his empire grew almost more than it had when he was out of prison.

He keeps the sinoloa cartel running from behind bars

But all that is about to change

In the mid to late 90s Mexico was not extraditing Mexican nationals to the United States but something changed in the beginning of 2001 . The supreme Court issued an opinion that it would restart extraditions of Mexican nationals to the United States and for Chapo hiding out in prison was not an option.

He learns that he has been charged with drug trafficking here in the US and he's worried that if he gets extradited in the US he's not gonna have the same ability to control his cartel n give out instructions and coordinate drug shipments from inside a prison cell.

𝘚𝘰 𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘯.

He isn't just the mastermind of an international drug cartel. He's also an escape artist he knows he needs to be very careful who he confides in abt his plans.

ESCAPE 1:

He orchestrates a complex series of getaway vehicles to be put in place for his jail break he threatens the lives of anyone who could reveal the plan to the officials and ofc he creases a lot of poems.

For this escape he bribed a much smaller group of officials. The idea being : 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚛 𝚙𝚎𝚘𝚙𝚕𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚕𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝚝𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚎

So he bribed one of the workers, a man named 𝙀𝙡 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙤 (the quiet one)
