The Gang
There were four men who were determined to get out of Alcatraz, despite hearing of the horror foiled escape attempts. These men were Allen West, Frank Lee Morris, and brothers John and Clarence Anglin. All of their cells were close to one-another which gave them the opportunity to work on a plan to escape from the prison.
Previous Encounters
The Anglin brothers and Frank Lee Morris had met each-other when they were imprisoned in Atlanta before coming to Alcatraz. Authorities were supposedly not aware of this fact and only found out during the aftermath’s investigation.
