Previous Encounters
The Anglin brothers and Frank Lee Morris had met each-other when they were imprisoned in Atlanta before coming to Alcatraz. Authorities were supposedly not aware of this fact and only found out during the aftermath’s investigation.
Frank Lee Morris
Morris was more than just an average prisoner on Alcatraz Island, he was a genius. Not just intelligent, he was also criminal mastermind who had successfully escaped from prison beforehand. His upbringing was far from easy as he was orphaned at 11, and convicted at the age of 13 for his first crime. Morris’ name was one that would soon be known as the leader of the Great Escape from Alcatraz.
