What Was It Like to be Jailed at Alcatraz? 

Handle the conditions at Alcatraz or make a break (swim) for it? What do you do?

Me:"Why are you here?" Prisoner:"I killed 10 people. What about you?" Me:" I shoplifted eggs."

The prison conditions don’t seem too bad, honestly, the only threat are the inmates themselves

I have been to Alcatraz before. As a tourist not a prisoner of course.

Who would win: the most high tech maximum security prison in the world that nobody can escape from or 3 desperate bois

the animation quality is at its prime in this video

I went two years ago and the plants and animals were so interesting and cool. The history is really interesting especially about the people who weren’t prisoners who lived on the island.

Alcatraz seems more chill than SM entertainment

Honestly thought Alcatraz was from harry potter

Just kept thinking of mob of the dead PS good vid

If it wasn't for this video, I would still think that Alcatraz is in Spain

Who else wants a face reveal at 2 million subscribers

Crazy how the guards families with kids lived there, u should make a vid about that

What does it feel like to escape in Alcatraz: It’s an Island (R.I.P.) Far away from San Francisco Bay (R.I.P.) You will drown in the Ocean if you escape (R.I.P.) So will you try to escape or just wait for a year?

MOTD

32nd. Please make Finlands School Sytem compared to Americas School System.

I went to Alcatraz when I was in San Fran. Really cool place with a lot of history. That island had many purposes before it was a prison. Look it up if you're bored.

I swam from mainland to Alcatraz and back last year

Nice video, but many interesting facts were left out. For instance, did you know that Alcatraz was the first and only United States prison at the time to have hot water in the showers? Something that American prisoners everywhere else in the country did not have... also, there is a small crematorium in Alcatraz for prisoners who had died during their stay. There are many more things to go over but it would take a whole novel haha. It’s an amazing place to see and it’s history has a little bit of everything from criminals to the military, and even to Native Americans!

I've been, it's like your average prison but on an island, this is probably why it's so hard to escape, but props to those who did and possibly succeed, imagine swimming that distance or the amount of preparation and planning for the boat escape

They have an Alcatraz tour you take a boat from San Fran to Alcatraz it’s like 3 miles and I’ve been on the tour it’s really cool they show you around the old jail also they kept the baddest people in the world there

When i hear Alcatraz i instantly remember Mob of the dead What an amazing map

I've been to Alcatraz. The big reason you went to "The Rock" wasn't necessarily the crime. It was usually because you got sent to a different prison, and then tried to escape/did escape. If necessary, you were then sent to Alcatraz.

I haven't been there, but I wanna travel and go there now

You missed one really funny escape. A guy (can’t remember his name) worked with repairing the guards uniforms and stole small pieces of the uniforms and in the course of 3 years or so he had gathered enough for a uniform and got out to a boat together with other guards, but the boat he went on was for a training course together with the whole police force and military on a military island, so he admitted he was an inmate and was sent back to prison

Al Capone spent 5 years there until he was too sick

I met one of the prisoners when he was at a book signing for his autobiography. He believes the three guys who escaped in 1962 have succeeded and possibly live in South America

Me *Steals soap* Judge “20 years in Alcatraz” Me *jumps out window* saying I’m not going Everyone confused

I live in SF. Alcatraz is beautiful from the bridge with the sun shining.

The conditions weren't that bad in Alcatraz, not that I've been there, but it seemed like the inmates on the island got to pick up a lot of different hobbies and activities while on the island and could do them during the happy hour.

Two thumbs up for the video quality guys 👍🏽👍🏽❤️

My science teacher's cousin was in Alcatraz(that's what he told us). He tried to escape. Keyword: TRIED. Must have been hard to be there.

Okay, question. At 0:51 there is a police officer dressed in blue. I have seen you use that facial expression many times in your videos. However, earlier this morning I came across it in an unexpected place. I saw it in a video from Etihad Airlines. We were doing a layover in Abu Dhabi and they had a video advertising Abu Dhabi. At one point they showed a man with the face previously described behind a glass booth, acting as an immigration officer (I'm presuming). There was also a man standing next to him which I also recognised in your style. This last thing I may be wrong about, by I believe that there was a poster on a recyling bin (actually in the airport, not the plane) that appeared to show a man in your style. On your description it says you do videos for other companies, and I was wondering if this was one of them.

I just learnt about Al capone and "machine gun" Billy this is not a coincidence

I found this quite informative but the treble is very crisp in this recording making it very difficult to listen to loud enough to hear audibly.

🎵a floating prison on a rock a dead man found afloat a prison witch failed leaves a man among the dead🎵

I thought it was surrounded by sharks

2:26 “better then the food at any other prison he has been at” HOW MANY PRISONS HAVE YOU BEEN IN?

So do the guards live there or are there houses around the island?

After the adrenaline rush of breaking out, I can see how a normal person could swim the channel back to dry land. A human with that rush is capable of much more in those situations. It has been believed that no one can swim it, just so we can all say "no one ever escaped from this magical prison"

Yep ive been in the island but it was already slightly renovated

I have been to Alcatraz

You guys are great

does anyone else here "im diffrent" by 2 chains when the dinging in the background comes up

2:21 Machine gun Kelly? The rapper? Damn. The thing is, I wouldn't have known who he was if it weren't for Eminem.

I've been before, there were grenade explosion fragments in certain spots.

1.25 miles to mainland seems doable to many swimmers especially if the sea current is in your favor

i'm distantly related to Bernard Coy. i wasn't expecting to hear about him in this video.

my school did a project on this. it was actually fun. i live in sweden so the schools are better than you might think!

Can I ask with what program do you create this fantastiv animated video?

A little boy from my hometown made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for swimming from one of the piers to the island and then back. We were on the same swim team together. I think if you can swim good, bravery the water would have been no sweat.

Alcatraz was a federal prison, not a state prison.

Hmmm ... Yeah I think school is still worse

I myself have seen Alcatraz in person it was pretty cool but it was scary too

I went to Alcatraz but not as it was a prison but as a park

The Great Escape!!!

I went to the island once, it was wicked cool

Most of what I watch from this channel is really depressing. Why am I doing this to myself?

And after Marion was built, Alcatraz closed, after some time, Florence was built based off of the design of Marion

Alcatraz looks fun!!

It’s pretty cool there, if you get a chance try to visit

Yeet

Make a video about ADHD or Fukushima. Really great video btw

Could you do how TB or Tuberculosis happens in American Jail or Prison facility explained video please.

*THIS JAIL IN WAY MORE CALM THAN MY SCHOOL BATHROOM!*

Think the three escaped and took a pact to NEVER commit another crime or come forward. They decided to die LEGENDS!

I had a field trip here once in 5th grade

i wissitted alkatraz about half a year agoo and i higly recomend the digital guided tour

Everytime I watch this I remember my Watchdogs 2 and the Auntie Shu Boy😂

I live in the bay area. Went to The jail not to long ago It was scary but fun

Lmao a person at my school thought Alacatraz was still operating as a prison so when I said me and my family are going there, he thought we were going there as prisoners

My grandpa was in that prison he ded now

Alcatraz *exists* john dee: its free realestate

Wait for zombies apocalypse

I like that place although I've heard urban legends about d block that freaked me out!😱

Did you know the showers at Alcatraz were hot water. If it were cold water the prisoners would get used to it and could swim in the bay.

Is this where u get jailed for watching lolis?

Anyone else notice that they used the San Francisco map from watchdogs 2?

I didn’t know machine gun Kelly was inprisoned at Alcatraz

the battle of Alcatraz was in 1946 but the armory has m4s and a jet plane and what looks like AN94

Who would win? One really high tech prison that not even air can escape Or *OnE SnApPy bOi* ( edited from jay Williams)

Better than my boarding school , except the iron bars and guns

There a documentary about the famous Alcatraz escape. It provides lots of evidence that the three men survived

thanks that will help on my project

Do gontanamo bay next please

What software do you use for making these animations?

ZE OPENING OF THE GATEWAYS, THE VESSEL FOR MAXIS

Only two teams left

I’ve been in Alcatraz

One problem aren’t there sharks in the water around that prison if not I’ve heard many people say that there is and not the safest swim good luck 🦈

I was there it would have been difficult to escape at that time

Seen in Call of duty

THE ESCAPIST FREE DLC PRISONS protagonis Was the one who chipped walls with forks to escape LOL

I recognised this place from WatchDogs 2 Where you can visit this island

4:13 Backup arrives in 99 seconds

It is possible to swim to land. However comparing the annual swim meets to escapes is wrong. Swim meets take place in the best weather conditions at low tide and swimmers wear swim suits to keep warm. Prison escapees had none of these advantages. Just saying but good video tho 👍🏼

Some would call it Sherringford

You just described school.

I went there! It was pretty cool... except they had an audio thing and it told you where to go to see all the cool stuff and I kinda got lost................. 😅
