It’s June 11th, 1962. I’m sitting in my cell, just after supper. The guard finished his rounds a few moments ago And now the other inmates are playing their instruments. It’s music hour, if you can believe it. But even though I’ve a squeeze box of my own, I ain’t playin’ tonight. I’m on three hours of sleep - if that. And I’ll be lucky if I get any at all the next 24 hours. That’s because I am Frank Morris, prisoner AZ 1441, and tonight - I am escaping Alcatraz. It’s the most famous prison in the world. A fortress set atop 22 acres of rock. There it sits in San Francisco Bay, a mile and a half across turbulent waters from Fisherman’s wharf. Maybe on a good day, you can make out the Golden Gate Bridge, three miles away. If the fog has lifted, that is, and you ain’t huddled up in your peacoat ‘cause even in June it’s 60 degrees Fahrenheit and the wind is always blowing.
