A Wake-Up Call

Clarence Anglin, John Anglin, and Frank Lee Morris were never seen again after that day. They went out to the sea on their makeshift raft at around 11:30 PM. The prison authorities only noticed that they were missing the following morning. All the inmates woke up to the sound of blaring sirens. They were confused because they did not think anyone would try to escape! They all thought it was impossible, but they later found out that three men managed to do the impossible.

Not Giving Up

Allen West did not give up, apparently. They already left him behind, but he kept chipping at the hole to squeeze through. He succeeded! He was thrilled to leave the cell and follow the others. After he left the cell, he made his way to the rooftop. However, the three men were nowhere in sight. He did not have a raft on him nor anyone to help him. He had two choices: swim or return to his cell.
