I dont know about that but Escape from Alcatraz was a great movie though...
“Escape from Alcatraz was a good movie, but its inaccuracies annoyed me. For one thing, it took place in the ‘60’s, but Al Capone, who died in 1947, was portrayed as one of the inmates.
It also claimed that the prisoners were not allowed to hear news of the outside world. However, by the ‘60’s, they were allowed to listen to radios and read newspapers. But since they were not allowed to read or hear news of sex, violence or crime, their listening was restricted, and the only newspaper they were allowed to read was the Christian Science Monitor.
