What happened to the three men who escaped from Alcatraz? In June 1962, brothers Clarence and John Anglin and Frank Morris attempted to escape from the inescapable water-bound prison, Alcatraz, located on Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay on the coast of California.
In early 1963, Attorney General Robert Kennedy ordered the closing of Alcatraz Penitentiary citing increasing maintenance and operational costs. The last convicts were removed from the island on March 21, 1963. When the island closed, it was replaced by a new maximum-security federal prison in Marion, Illinois.
