The Anglin Brothers
Frank Lee Morris knew that a good prison break cannot be handled alone. He needed a team and found them when he got to “The Rock”, a common nickname for Alcatraz. The team was made up of Morris, two brothers named John and Clarence Anglin and another convict named Allen West.
The Anglin brothers were born in Georgia and grew up in Florida. Their parents were seasonal farm workers and the family traveled the country in search of farming jobs. The Anglin family, two parents and 13 children, would go North and pick cherries every June.
