Their First Crimes
The Anglin brothers loved the trips that their family took to the north. Being very close siblings, they spent as much time together as possible, and one of their favorite activities was swimming in lakes together. All the swimming that they did together actually helped them become very skilled swimmers. Once the two of them became adults, they started to pull off some daring bank robberies. In 1956 the pair was caught, but that would not be the end of their crime run.

Failed Escapes
While the Anglin brothers served time at Atlanta Penitentiary, they attempted escape many times but never actually succeeded. If they couldn’t pull off an escape from Atlanta Penitentiary, officials were certain that they would never manage to do so from “The Rock”. There they met the other two members of the group that would become the infamous gang who executed the “Grand Escape from Alcatraz.”
