Iain looks at one of the most legendary escapes in Alcatraz history. An escape that involved DIY drills, papier-mâché heads and even a raft made out of raincoats. It’s a case that inspired Clint Eastwood’s ‘Escape From Alcatraz’ (as well as one of Iain’s favourite video games) and still manages to mystify investigators, historians and true crime aficionados to this day.
