To ditch Alcatraz, the infamous federal penitentiary, inmates tried everything from papier-mache masks to a military impersonation to a bloody revolt. Over those three decades, the infamous prison known as "The Rock" housed more than 1,500 inmates, including some of the most notorious and dangerous men in America. In that span, 36 inmates tried to escape in 14 separate daring breakout attempts.
