SPRINGFIELD, Mo. â The only survivor of an abortive escape attempt from Alcatraz in 1946 has died at the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners here. Clarence Carnes, known as the Choctaw Kid and the youngest man ever admitted to The Rock, died Oct. 3 at the age of 61 after spending most of his life in prisons. Carnes was 18 when sent to the island prison in San Francisco Bay in 1945. Early the next year, he was drawn into a daring escape plot that quickly went awry.
