Now I will tell you about some escape attempts from some of the convicts in Alcatraz when it was a federal penitentiary prison
in April 27 1938
joe bowers tried to escape while he was working in the prisons incinerator burning trash , he tried to climb up the chain made fence near the edge of the island. Then Joe Bowers was given an order to climb back down, but he refused to obey and kept climbing. After Bowers chose to disobey he was shot by a Correctional officer that was located in the West Road guard tower. After he was shot Joe Bowers fell from 50 to 100 feet high and then died from his injuries.
December 16 1937
Theodore Cole and Ralph Roe were working in the model industries building and then they found a way to try to escape, they went through some flat iron bars on a window, then once they climbed out the window, they both landed on the waters edge and went missing heading towards San Francisco Bay. This try to desperately escape happened during a bad storm, and the bays currents were very fast and strong. Due to that chance most people think Theodore Cole and Ralph Roe were washed out towards sea, and are thought of dead.
