what is the name of the guy who escaped alcatraz
June 1962 Alcatraz escape attempt One inmate, John Paul Scott, successfully swam a distance of 2.7 nautical miles (5.0 km; 3.1 mi) from the island to Fort Point, at the southern end of the Golden Gate Bridge, on December 16, 1962. Some teenagers who were on the beach at the time found him and called the police because they thought he was dead. When the police saw him, he was immediately identified as the escapee they had been looking for. He was recaptured the same day and sent back to the rock,[5] exhausted and hypothermic.[6] Today, multitudes of athletes swim the same Alcatraz–Fort Point route as part of one of two annual triathlon events.[7][8] Some inmates in Alcatraz include Al Capone, Robert Stroud, and Allen West.
Ernesto Miranda Ernesto Arturo Miranda (March 9, 1941 â€“ January 31, 1976) was a laborer whose conviction on kidnapping, rape, and armed robbery charges based on his confession under police interrogation was set aside in the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona, which ruled that criminal suspects must be informed of their right against self-incrimination and their right to consult with an attorney before being questioned by police. This warning is known as a Miranda warning.
