Escaped From Prison

Morris was no stranger to prisons and their conditions. After serving time in several different state prisons, he was moved to Louisiana State Penitentiary – the so-called “Alcatraz of the South”. The prison warden and guards had no idea who they were dealing with, but they soon found out. While serving a 10-year sentence for bank robbery, the mastermind escaped. After he was caught pulling off another crime while he was out, a judge sentenced him to time on Alcatraz Island.

The Anglin Brothers

John and Clarence Anglin were two of thirteen children born to two seasonal farm workers in Georgia. Their family moved a lot due to their parents’ work, and before they knew it they were living in Florida. As a tradition, each year in June, the whole family would travel to the north to do cherry picking. Unbelievably, this fun family tradition would actually come in handy with their escape from Alcatraz.
