Beneath Alcatraz, Devil's Island, Jailbreak -- Three Great Documentaries. Tales Of Anguish, Courage And Escape.
Alcatraz... Devil's Island...Botany Bay: these prisons, among the most feared on Earth, give a whole new meaning to the term "hard time." They didn't merely cage society's worst, they shattered their spirits. Many cracked under the torment, but some fought desperately to survive -- even escape. This is the closest you'll get - or would want to! - to these notorious lockups.
Beneath Alcatraz:
It's a story so incredible that Clint Eastwood adapted it for his movie, Escape From Alcatraz. In 1962, three dangerous convicts dove into the frigid waters of San Francisco Bay in a bid to escape the notorious Alcatraz prison. They were never seen again. Did they find freedom? Or an icy death in the treacherous currents? Incredible new evidence, along with exclusive interviews with former inmates and guards, may finally reveal the answer to The Rock's greatest mystery!
Devil's Island:
It was a place so severe, it broke even the toughest convict. This tiny penal colony on the edge of the Amazon rainforest was literally a "Hell on Earth" from which there was no escape (although many tried). The punishments were notorious for their horrifying severity. The conditions were so inhumane that many inmates would rather risk death by trying to flee. Descend into the depths of this dark place to relive twisted tales of prison life and desperate attempts at freedom that reveal the indomitable will of the human spirit. Narrated by Stacy Keach.
Jailbreak:
There are jailbreaks - and then there are jailbreaks so mind-boggling in their daring that they become the stuff of legend! From Australia
