A Repeat Offender

As he got older, Frank Lee Morris kept up his criminal activities and served time in prisons in a variety of states, eventually ending up in the state penitentiary of Louisiana, known as “Alcatraz of the South”. This sounds quite intimidating, but Morris was planning a big surprise.

Frank Lee Morris was serving 10 years for bank robbery when the unthinkable happened – he managed to escape! Morris successfully evaded the authorities for almost a year before he was captured during another robbery. He was arrested and put away, but this time he was sent to the notorious Alcatraz.
