1 Names of prisoners: Frank Morris, John and Clarence Anglin,
Allen West
Why were they in prison? for robbing banks and stealing cars
Name of prison: Alcatraz
Where was the prison? on an island, 2 kms from San Francisco,
in California
Date of escape: 11 June 1962
How did the prisoners leave their cells? They made tunnels up to
the roof of the prison.
How did the prisoners leave the prison? They climbed down the
building from the roof, jumped into the sea and swam away.
How did they stop the guards noticing their escape? They left
painted heads in their beds.
Did all the prisoners escape? Allen West didn’t go with them, but
no one knows if the others escaped or drowned.
2 Gunter Plüschow and Oberleutnant Trefftz were German
prisoners of war. They were sent to Donington Hall, near Derby.
They escaped on 4 July 1915. That afternoon they went into the
park and hid among some garden chairs. Later that evening they
climbed over a thick wire fence and walked to Derby. There they
caught different trains to London. That night friends lay in their
beds to make the guards think they were ill in bed. On the way to
London Trefftz was caught but Plüschow escaped. He called
himself George Mine and made his elegant clothes dirty and
darkened his fair hair with black shoe polish to disguise himself
as a British dock worker. In this way he got onto a Dutch boat in
London and sailed to Amsterdam, where he was safe.
