The Anglins
Frank Lee Morris knew that it is impossible to conduct a prison break on his own. He had to find a team to help him with this endeavor. When he got to The Rock, he teamed up with Allen West and John and Clarence Anglin. The Anglin brothers came from Georgia but grew up in Florida. They had seasonal farm workers for parents, so everyone in the family went around the country to look for farming jobs. Every June, the family would head North and pick cherries.

Thick As Thieves
John and Clarence had been attached at the hip ever since they were kids. Quite literally, they were as thick as thieves! When they were little, the entire family went up North to pick cherries. Sometimes, they would make it to Michigan. Back then, the brothers liked to swim in Lake Michigan and developed excellent swimming skills. Did they know these abilities were going to be important in the future? The two started to rob banks together when they were in their early twenties. They got arrested in 1956!
