Prison Break!?
By: Darin Wieneke
Thirty-six prisoners of Alcatraz Island Federal Penitentiary tried to escape. None succeeded. On May 2, 2010, numerous daring Minnesotans will attempt to accomplish something these hardened criminals were not able to complete. These Minnesotans will fight the frigid waters and strong currents of San Francisco Bay for 1.5 miles, flee 1 mile to their “hidden” bikes, race 18 miles over steep hills and around sharp turns, then scamper 8 miles to avoid their pursuers in order to officially ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ!
MTN will chronicle the journey of 4 Minnesotans who will brave all of the challenges that Alcatraz has to offer. This will be the first prison break attempt ever made by these outlaws. They are:
