Frank Lee Morris
Morris was more than just an average prisoner on Alcatraz Island, he was a genius. Not just intelligent, he was also criminal mastermind who had successfully escaped from prison beforehand. His upbringing was far from easy as he was orphaned at 11, and convicted at the age of 13 for his first crime. Morris’ name was one that would soon be known as the leader of the Great Escape from Alcatraz.

Escaped From Prison
Morris was no stranger to prisons and their conditions. After serving time in several different state prisons, he was moved to Louisiana State Penitentiary – the so-called “Alcatraz of the South”. The prison warden and guards had no idea who they were dealing with, but they soon found out. While serving a 10-year sentence for bank robbery, the mastermind escaped. After he was caught pulling off another crime while he was out, a judge sentenced him to time on Alcatraz Island.
