On the night of 11 June 1962, three inmates
carried out the most daring prison break in American history —
and vanished without a trace. Frank Morris and
brothers John and Clarence Anglin spent months
chiselling through cell walls, fashioning a raft from raincoats
and creating lifelike dummy heads to fool the guards. Their
target: the inescapable Alcatraz Federal
Penitentiary, the infamous island prison built to keep
the most dangerous criminals behind bars.

In this gripping episode of Crime at Bedtime, we step inside the
cold, concrete cells of Alcatraz to uncover how the plan was set
in motion, the extraordinary ingenuity of the escape itself, and
the decades-long investigation that followed. From homemade tools
to secret alliances and mysterious letters years later, the case
remains one of America’s greatest unsolved mysteries.

Did they drown in the icy waters of San Francisco Bay… or did
they pull off the impossible?
