John Paul Scott is the only person to ever escape Alcatraz

Alcatraz is one of the most notable and notorious prisons to ever exist, having held some of the most dangerous and well known criminals in history. Many prisoners have attempted to escape this place to no avail. It is a huge rock in the middle of the San Francisco bay that is very difficult to escape from. But one man actually did it: John Paul Scott escaped in 1962. He was captured as soon as he made it to dry ground.
