Warden's son recalls three men escaping from Alcatraz
Fifty years ago, three prisoners escaped from Alcatraz island using a spoon to dig through the concrete walls.
Frank Morris, John Anglin and his brother Clarence Anglin paddled away on 11 June, 1962, and have never been since.
Many people believe they died in San Francisco Bay but US marshalls are still searching for the men.
Phil Dollison was living on the island on the day of the escape, as his father was an associate warden at the prison. He told BBC Radio 5 live Up All Night's Giles Dilnot what he remembers of that day.
