During the night of June 11, 1962, Frank Morris and two brothers, Clarence and John Anglin, broke out out of Alcatraz. They were never seen again.
Did they make it to shore? The Mythbusters tested the raft (parts one, two and three), concluding that they could have made it safely to the Marin Headlands.
My gut feeling is that most career criminals would, if they got free, eventually commit more crimes. Morris was certainly smart enough to figure that out, I don't know about the Anglin brothers.
Still, imagine if, a few years from now, an elderly man who is dying tells his doctor to have the cops run his prints after he dies, and it turns out to be one of the three escapees from the Rock. Most people would probably cheer for him, including cops.
