On 2 May 1946, a man named Bernard Coy began a famous prisoner rebellion later called the Battle of Alcatraz. After observing, planning, and taking note of the guards’ routines, Coy managed to overpower a guard with the help of his fellow prison inmate, Marvin Hubbard. Since they were under no supervision, Coy took the opportunity to miraculously sneak into the West End Gun Gallery and steal weapons for himself and the other prisoners he had released. From there, things only got more intense as prisoners and guards battled it out until May 4.

Prisoner uprisings have taken place all throughout history. In 73 BC during the Third Servile War, there was a massive slave rebellion that started just from slaves using kitchen utensils to escape. Eventually, just like all rebellions seem to end, the slaves were defeated. Another example of an uprising is the Zanj Rebellion that took place in AD 869 when Zanj slaves teamed up with Ali Bin Muhammad to rise up against the Abbasid Caliphate.

Though these examples were of slave uprisings and the Battle of Alcatraz was a prisoner uprising, it still shows that humans ban together to become stronger when they are imprisoned; no matter what time period.
