The FBI has refashioned decoy heads used by inmates in a notorious prison escape from Alcatraz Island more than a half century ago.
The fake heads, which took months for three convicts to make, were placed in their beds before they climbed to the roof and escaped from the island prison in the San Francisco Bay.
Inmates Frank Morris and John and Clarence Anglin slipped into the frigid water and were never seen again.
The daring escape inspired a movie starring Clint Eastwood.
The FBI on Thursday unveiled the near-exact replicas, which were made using a 3D printer at the bureau’s laboratory in Quantico, Va.
The idea was to preserve valuable pieces of American history as the original dummy heads deteriorated.
