The Protagonists
Clarence Anglin, Frank Lee Morris, John Anglin, and Allen West were the four men who attempted to escape. The two brothers, John and Clarence, met up with Frank in a different prison, and Allen’s cell was nearby.
Meet Frank
Frank Morris became a career criminal, heading to Alcatraz because of his list of crimes. As a child, he was in foster care, and he actually received his first conviction at only 13 years old. That simply spiraled into many more.
