Secure Fence facts
While investigating facts about Secure Fence, I found out little known, but curios details like:
3 men escaped from Alcatraz by digging holes in their cells using spoons, accessing an unguarded utility corridor. They climbed onto the roof, down a 50' drainpipe and over two 12' security fences before inflating a makeshift raft and swimming across the Bay. Their bodies have never been found.
Richard Feynman was arrested while working on the Manhattan Project for playing pranks on military guards using a hole in the security fence. And safe-cracking.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 5 of the best facts about Secure Fence I managed to collect.
