June 1962 Alcatraz escape attempt: Escape from Alcatraz - penitentiary closing
Time: Thursday Mar 21, 1963
Place: Alcatraz, San Francisco, USA
Details: Because the penitentiary cost much more to operate than other prisons (nearly $10 per prisoner per day, as opposed to $3 per prisoner per day at Atlanta), and half a century of saltwater saturation had severely eroded the buildings, then-Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy ordered the penitentiary closed on March 21, 1963.
