A Group Of Four
They were incarcerated at the Atlanta Penitentiary. The brothers tried to escape numerous times. In the end, the people in charge thought they were better off in a maximum-security prison like Alcatraz. They befriended Frank Lee Morris and Allen West during their time together. The four of them had lots of experience in escaping or trying to escape in the past. They pooled their resources and began to draw up a plan to do the unthinkable. They were going to escape from Alcatraz.
Pulling It Off
The plan they drew up was not complicated, but could they actually pull it off? For one thing, they needed perfect coordination if they wanted to make this work. It was not the first time that inmates tried to escape. In fact, more than 30 people tried to escape from the Rock before them. None of them succeeded.
