    En 2013 la policía de San Francisco recibió una carta firmada supuestamente por John Anglin.
    En ella afirmaba que Frank Morris había muerto en 2008 y Clarence en 2011, y que él mismo estaba enfermo y dispuesto a entregarse a cambio de tratamiento médico.
    Nunca se pudo confirmar si la carta era auténtica.

    El caso pasó del FBI al United States Marshals Service, que mantiene la orden de arresto abierta mientras exista la posibilidad de que alguno haya sobrevivido.

    Un detalle curioso más

    Antes de esta fuga hubo otros intentos de escapar de Alcatraz.
    Entre 1934 y 1963 lo intentaron 36 presos en total.
    Algunos fueron abatidos, otros capturados… y cinco desaparecieron en el mar.
    Los tres de 1962 son, sin duda, los más famosos.

    Hoy la isla de Alcatraz Island es un museo que visitan millones de personas cada año. Y cuando los guías cuentan la historia de aquella noche de junio, siempre terminan igual.

    Porque la gran pregunta sigue flotando sobre la bahía:

    ¿Murieron en el agua…
    o lograron lo que nadie había conseguido jamás?

    Escapar de Alcatraz.

  2. The Case for Returning U.S. #PublicLands to #IndigenousPeople

    by Joe Whittle, Mar 6, 2025

    "Since the start of Trump’s second term, his administration has fired thousands of federal workers across multiple public lands agencies, including the National Park Service, the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The effects of this are vast: It’s going to have a profoundly negative impact on the environment and the way millions of Americans enjoy public lands, cause immeasurable harm to America’s wildest places, and devastate the economies built around them.

    "After serving 12 years as a backcountry wilderness ranger for the U.S. Forest Service, I'm convinced there is an alternative: the U.S. needs to return its public lands to Native Americans. In fact, I believe that might be the only way to save our parks and forests from corporate privatization and destruction, as well as preserve public access to them. If the U.S. won’t properly care for its public lands, why not return them to their original caretakers?

    "This isn’t a new idea. #NativeAmericans argued that treaty law required
    'abandoned' federal land to be returned to tribes during the occupation of #Alcatraz Island by the #AmericanIndianMovement in the 1960s. In more recent years, the #LandbackMovement has given rise to increased calls for the return of territorial land to #IndigenousNations, and the return of land management based in #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge—expertise gathered from thousands of years of having deep relationships with specific environments. There’s a strong legal argument that land return is constitutionally required as damages due for hundreds of treaty violations. However, there’s also a lot of data showing Indigenous land management is more ecologically sound than government or industrially managed land. For instance, #ProjectDrawdown, a global leader in science-based #ClimateChange solutions, estimates that returning 1,000 million hectares of land to Indigenous tenureship by 2050 would sequester over 12 gigatons of carbon dioxide."

  3. I'd be in favor of reopening #Alcatraz with caveats: 1. It isn't renovated and 2. It will only be used to house the #felons in this administration. #impeach #imprison #resist

  4. I mean, it is not like the veil was not off the fake #republican concern for the budget... But Reopening #alcatraz prison, which was closed precisely because it was so expensive to operate, only deprives a poor red state of another federal prison. Which they need for their feeble economies. I'm sure #Gavin #Newsom will be there for the ribbon cutting.
