There were, however, prisoners who decided not to wait for a transfer to another prison. Over the 29 years (1934-1963) that the Federal prison operated, 36 men (including two who tried to escape twice) were involved in 14 separate escape attempts. Twenty-three were caught, six were shot and killed during their escape, and two drowned. Two of the men who were caught were later executed in the gas chamber at the California State Prison at San Quentin for their role in the death of a correctional officer during the famous May 2-4, 1946, "Battle of Alcatraz" escape attempt.
I chose this because it tells you how many people try to escape. The propaganda they use is facts and info, the persuasive they use logos, claim and research. The reason why I chose this quote is because it shows you how many people try to escape Alcatraz and also how many people died trying to escape.
