55 Years Later, Alcatraz Escapee sends this note.

Time To Come Out Clean…

Allen West returned to his cell driven by his own will. For him, the possibility of dying in a particular manner did not pay off. Should he need help throughout his journey across the sea, who would be there to support him? West told the wardens everything in the days following the breakout; this is why we know all there is to know about their story today.

According to his story, the first goal was to reach Angel Island, then followed by the theft of a few clothes items and a car. After that, they will all head their different directions. The guards might not have thought his amazing account genuine.
